MAN trucks 3.5-12 t (class N2) – collective page for the EU medium-truck class: the tonnage.horsepower type code such as 10.153 or 12.224, engines from 75 to 213 kW, gross weights 3,880 to 12,000 kg

The EU vehicle class N2 covers trucks from 3.5 to 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every MAN range recorded in that class. MAN grew out of Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, whose commercial-vehicle arm has built trucks since a merger with the Saurer works in the 1910s/1920s; the company is based in Munich and has belonged to the Volkswagen Group (Traton brand) since 2011. The type codes in the register follow MAN's classic "tonnage.power" pattern: the first number (e.g. 8, 10, 12, 14) denotes the approximate payload or weight class in tonnes, the second (e.g. 153, 180, 224) the engine output in metric horsepower – a scheme MAN used from the 1960s into the 1990s, supplemented by letters such as L (long/light), F (forward cab) or C (with compressor).

The register lists 425 versions, with recorded outputs of 75 to 213 kW, displacements of 765 to 12,419 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders, kerb weights of 2,370 to 11,815 kg and gross vehicle weights of 3,880 to 12,000 kg; width ranges from 2,000 to 2,600 mm, length from 4,950 to 11,900 mm.

The page thus covers the classic medium distribution and municipal truck segment, where MAN has traditionally ranked alongside Mercedes-Benz and Iveco as a standard make.

On a used example, what matters on these older ranges is frame and cab corrosion, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, the braking system including the trailer brake valve on bodies used with a trailer, and the history of the body (flatbed, box, municipal). Spare parts for the older type series are limited and often run through specialised commercial-vehicle workshops.

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.
