The MAN 8.145,LC/300 is a light distribution truck from the 2002 model year. It belongs to the family MAN built for delivery work, for which the maker took over a cab from Steyr and refined it. The truck is meant for city work and supply rounds, where a handy body matters more than a large load space.
Power comes from an engine with 4,580 cm³ of displacement and an output of 103 kW. At a width of 2,300 mm the truck fits standard delivery bays and yard entrances. The kerb weight is 4,000 kg and the permissible gross weight is 8,600 kg, which leaves a payload suited to general cargo and tradesman rounds.
Anyone looking for spare parts or comparison data will find the checked core values of the vehicle on this page: engine output, displacement, width and both weight figures. They help to tell the 8.145,LC/300 apart from heavier distribution trucks of the same family.
MAN 8.145 – light chassis of the L2000 series: 8-tonne class with a 145 hp four-cylinder, cab codes F, FL, LC and LLC, gross-weight variants from 7.49 to 8.6 tonnes
The MAN 8.145 belongs to the L2000 series, introduced by MAN in the 1990s as the light and medium chassis class. In the type designation the first number gives the gross-weight class in tonnes and the second the engine output in horsepower, here 8 tonnes and 145 hp. The cab codes F and FL denote the long-haul and extended-nose cabs, LC and LLC chassis with a lower cab and lowered frame; the additional numbers after the hyphen, such as LC-7.5, give differing gross-weight variants of the same chassis in tonnes, and the number after the slash the wheelbase in centimetres.

The register lists 11 versions with 103 kW from four-cylinder engines of 4,580 cc. Kerb weights range from 4,000 to 6,800 kg, gross vehicle weights from 7,490 to 8,600 kg. Lengths run from 5,300 to 7,920 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,600 mm.
In the 7.5- to 8.6-tonne class, the 8.145 competed with the Mercedes-Benz 814/815 and the Iveco Cargo 75E; the chassis served as a common base for box, drop-side and refrigerated bodies in urban distribution transport.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame and spring brackets, the condition of the clutch and five-speed gearbox, sealing of the turbocharger on the four-cylinder engine, and brakes and wheel bearings from frequent urban stop-and-go use; spare parts run through the MAN service network.
