MAN-VW – other models of the joint G90 range: 8 to 10-tonners with forward-control cab, four to six cylinders, 66 to 114 kW, up to 10,400 kg gross weight
From 1979 to 1993 MAN and Volkswagen jointly developed the light-to-medium-duty G90 truck range, marketed by MAN as an 8 to 10-tonner and by Volkswagen as its own VW truck line; the collective page gathers chassis of this joint development that the register could not assign to its own range. In classic MAN type logic, the first number before the dot gives the weight class in tonnes and the second the engine output in hp – 8.150, for instance, an 8-tonner with 150 hp, 10.136 a 10-tonner with 136 hp – F denotes the forward-control cab.

The register lists here 27 versions with outputs from 66 to 114 kW from four- to six-cylinders of 3,765 to 6,871 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 3,120 to 6,950 kg, gross weights from 6,500 to 10,400 kg, lengths from 5,160 to 8,530 mm, heights from 2,338 to 2,410 mm and widths from 2,170 to 2,550 mm.
The G90 range was both groups' attempt to share development costs in the growing light-truck market, before MAN went its own way with the L2000 range and Volkswagen with its own van ranges; on the used market these chassis today appear above all as municipal vehicles, tippers and box bodies in regional distribution traffic.
On a used example, rust on the frame and cab mounts, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, on the forward-control cab the tilt mechanism and seals, and the brakes and tyres given the age of many vehicles count; parts through MAN dealers are available to a limited extent, for VW-badged versions barely at all.

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.
