Steyr – other models: the collective page of Austrian trucks outside the named ranges, from 4X2 tractor units to 8X4 tippers, with S, K and L type codes for drive and body variant, 110 to 191 kW
This page gathers the Steyr trucks the register could not assign to a named range – from light tractor units to heavy all-wheel-drive tippers. Steyr, which emerged from the Steyr-Werke in Steyr, Upper Austria, had built commercial vehicles since the 1920s and became Steyr-Daimler-Puch after the 1934 merger with Austro-Daimler and Puch; the truck division was known above all for off-road all-wheel-drive vehicles. The type codes in the register follow a fixed pattern: the leading number gives roughly the tonnage or power class, the letter the body type – S for tractor units, K for tippers, M and L for other body variants – followed by the axle formula (4X2, 4X4, 6X4, 6X6, 8X4); suffixes such as AKK or P denote chassis or drivetrain details. In 1990 MAN took a majority stake in the truck division, and since 2001 the Steyr plant has belonged entirely to MAN, today building components and cabs for the MAN truck range.

The register lists here 57 versions from four- to eight-cylinders of 5,320 to 11,964 cm³, unladen weights from 4,040 to 16,870 kg, gross weights from 4,870 to 35,000 kg, lengths from 4,710 to 9,870 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,570 mm.
Steyr trucks were in demand in Austria, Eastern Europe and the Middle East above all for their off-road ability, from forestry through construction firms to the military; the all-wheel-drive models in 6X6 and 8X4 formula competed directly with MAN, ÖAF and Tatra.
On used trucks, frame and transfer case, condition of the four-wheel-drive hubs and differential locks, brakes and axles count, and on tippers the tipper-body hydraulics; parts today run mostly through the MAN network, only to a limited extent for older model years.

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.
