MAN 18.264 – series from the L2000/M2000/F2000 era: 18-tonne chassis with a 264 hp six-cylinder, cab codes F, M and L, MA-4X4 off-road variant, gross weights up to 18,000 kg
The MAN 18.264 belongs to the L2000/M2000/F2000 generation MAN introduced in the 1990s, remaining in the range until replaced by the TG series. In the type designation the first number gives the gross-weight class in tonnes and the second the engine output in horsepower, here 18 tonnes and 264 hp. The cab codes F, M and L denote the long-haul, medium and short-nose cabs, LL and ML chassis with a lowered frame, and MA-4X4 the four-wheel-drive construction-site version; the number after the slash gives the wheelbase in centimetres.

The register lists 7 versions with 187 to 191 kW from six-cylinder engines of 6,870 to 6,880 cc. Kerb weights range from 7,050 to 11,550 kg, gross vehicle weights from 17,500 to 18,000 kg. Lengths run from 6,500 to 11,900 mm, widths from 2,490 to 2,600 mm.
In the 18-tonne class the 18.264 competed with the Mercedes-Benz 1824 and the Volvo FL7/FL10; the MA-4X4 four-wheel-drive variant was used as a base for crane, tipper and fire-service bodies in construction and municipal service.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame side members and spring brackets, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, on four-wheel-drive chassis the transfer case and propshafts, and the sealing of the charge-air cooler and turbocharger on the six-cylinder engine; spare parts run through the MAN service network.
