MAN 12.225 – 12-tonne class truck with a 225hp engine: 6,870cc six-cylinder, twelve L, LL, LLC and LLL chassis variants, unladen weight 4.86 to 8.8 tonnes
The 12.225 carries the same MAN type logic into the 12-tonne class: the 225 denotes about 225hp, measured here at 162 to 163kW. The register lists twelve variants with the cab and chassis codes L, LL, LLC and LLL and various wheelbase suffixes such as /328, /368 or /458 – the widest model variety among the MAN ranges covered here. MAN was formed in 1908 from the merger of Maschinenfabrik Augsburg with the Nuremberg-based Maschinenbau-Actien-Gesellschaft; the 12.225 also belongs to the M90 generation, which complemented the lighter L2000 and M2000 ranges from above.

The register lists 12 versions with 162 to 163kW, a displacement of 6,870 to 6,871cc, six-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 4,860 to 8,800kg, gross vehicle weights from 11,990 to 12,000kg, lengths from 5,800 to 9,430mm and widths from 2,250 to 2,600mm.
The 12-tonne class marked MAN's transition from medium to heavy-duty trucks and was used correspondingly widely – from distribution freight through tipper and construction-site vehicles to municipal bodies.
Buying used, check the frame for rust, especially on the longer-wheelbase chassis, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the brakes, and – depending on the chassis variant – leaf or air suspension and the condition of the respective bodies; spare parts run through the MAN network. The tightness of the cab mounts and the condition of the tow hitch and tail-lift, where fitted, are also worth checking.
