MAN L2000 – light and medium truck range of the 1990s: four- and six-cylinder diesels of 4,580 to 6,871 cm³, 114 to 132 kW, 7.5 to 12 tonnes gross weight
The MAN L2000 is a light to medium truck range introduced by MAN in 1997 for the 6 to 12-tonne gross-weight bracket, which succeeded MAN's previous light ranges and was later replaced by the TGL range. The type designations recorded in the register follow MAN's logic of weight class and engine power before and after the point, supplemented by internal chassis and equipment codes for wheelbase, cab and drive type.

The register lists here 22 versions with 114 to 132 kW from four- to six-cylinders of 4,580 to 6,871 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 3,940 to 8,220 kg, gross weights from 7,490 to 11,990 kg, lengths from 6,820 to 10,000 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,550 mm.
As a forward-control chassis, the L2000 served the market for municipal, tradesperson and distribution traffic, where manoeuvrability and lower purchase and running costs compared with heavy trucks were decisive; it competed directly with comparable light ranges from Mercedes-Benz, Iveco and DAF.
On a used L2000, rust on the frame and cab, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the condition of the injection system on the older direct-injection engines, the braking system and the condition of the body on tipper and box variants all count; spare parts run through the MAN network, which continues to support the range despite the model change.
