MAN 8.136 – 8-tonne class with a 136 hp six-cylinder: F, FA and FAE variants with and without all-wheel drive, unladen weight 4,560 to 6,100 kg
The 8.136 also follows MAN's type scheme of weight class and engine output: 8 tonnes gross weight and 136 hp, recorded in the register as a constant 100 kW from a six-cylinder diesel of around 5,650 to 5,687 cm³. The codes F, FA and FAE denote different chassis versions, with FAE marking the all-wheel-drive variant with an additional off-road reduction gear.

The register lists here 5 versions with an output of 100 kW from six-cylinders of 5,650 to 5,687 cm³, unladen weights from 4,560 to 6,100 kg, gross weights from 7,490 to 8,000 kg, lengths from 5,440 to 8,550 mm and widths from 2,220 to 2,520 mm.
The 8-tonne class was the workhorse of municipal and trade transport, from tipper bodies through box bodies to fire and rescue vehicles on all-wheel-drive chassis; here MAN competed with Mercedes-Benz and Magirus-Deutz for comparable bodies. The wide spread of model lengths shows how differently wheelbase and body length were chosen depending on the intended use.
On used 8.136 chassis, it is worth checking frame corrosion, the brake system, and on the all-wheel-drive versions also the transfer case and axle differentials; the six-cylinder is considered durable but needs regular oil changes given the high mileages typical of municipal service. Parts for the engine and chassis are available through MAN and independent commercial-vehicle parts suppliers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
