MAN TGL — the number before the dot is weight, after it power: a light distribution chassis from 7.5 to around 12 tonnes with four- and six-cylinder diesel engines of the D08 family
A MAN TGL 12.250 is rated at 12 tonnes and delivers 250 hp. A 7.150 means 7.5 tonnes and 150 hp; a 12.180 carries the same 12 tonnes with 180 hp. The system is consistent: gross vehicle weight before the dot, engine output after it. Comparing two TGLs, you can see at a glance whether you are looking at the same vehicle with a different engine or at another weight class.

The TGL is MAN's light range: distribution work in cities and regions, plus lighter construction duty. Together with the larger TGM it covers roughly 7.5 to 26 tonnes. The engines come from the D08 family; the four-cylinder units displace 4.58 litres and produce 150 to 220 hp depending on version.
The series has a long production run behind it. The 12.180 was built from 2005 to 2017; the 12.250 is a more recent version. For the used market that means the same type designation can cover vehicles spanning more than a decade — emissions stage and equipment differ accordingly.
When comparing two offers it is therefore worth looking less at the type number than at the year and emissions standard. The number tells you how heavy and how strong; it says nothing about which generation stands before you.
With gross vehicle weights from 7,300 to 12,090 kg, the TGL spans from EU class N2 (3.5 to 12 t) just into class N3; depending on version, this requires a category C1 or C driving licence, plus a tachograph and driving and rest times in commercial traffic. Early model years of the D08 engines met the Euro 3 standard, later versions the Euro 5 standard with SCR catalysis and AdBlue dosing.

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.
