MAN 12.220 – a 12-tonne-class chassis from the F8/L2000 generation, some examples listed as TGL: 4.58 and 6.87-litre diesel engines, 162 kW, around 220 PS factory rating, up to 12 tonnes gross weight
The 12.220 continues the weight class.engine power designation scheme of MAN's medium-duty F8 and L2000 ranges: the 12 denotes the 12-tonne weight class, the 220 the engine output in metric horsepower. Alongside the classically labelled versions, the register also includes one example under the successor name TGL, denoting the later MAN range introduced from 2005 that carried the same weight class forward.

The register lists 5 versions with 162 kW from 4,580 to 6,870 cm³ displacement, kerb weights of 5,100 to 7,375 kg, gross vehicle weights of 11,975 to 12,000 kg, lengths of 5,650 to 9,850 mm and widths of 2,300 to 2,550 mm.
In the 12-tonne class, the 12.220 was the higher-output alternative to the 10.163/10.185 and competed with the Mercedes-Benz LK/LN2 12t, the Iveco Eurocargo 120E and the Volvo FL6; the engine range from 4.58 to 6.87 litres shows that both the smaller four-cylinder and larger six-cylinder units were fitted in this weight class, depending on body and duty profile.
When buying used, check for rust on the frame and axles, the condition of the fitted engine – the smaller four-cylinder or the larger six-cylinder – and brakes and suspension relative to usage history. On examples listed as TGL, it is also worth checking the electronics, revised compared with the previous range; parts are supplied through the MAN dealer workshop network.
