The register lists five versions with 6,560 to 9,160 cc of displacement across four to six cylinders, kerb weights from 4,600 to 7,470 kg and gross vehicle weights from 9,400 to 12,000 kg; lengths range from 6,120 to 7,100 mm at a width of 2,350 to 2,500 mm.

For more than 25 years the W50 shaped medium-duty road haulage in East Germany and served as the basis for tippers, flatbeds, tankers and special bodies; it was also used militarily and exported to Africa, Asia and Latin America. The L60 was meant to continue that role in the GDR's final years but fell well short of the W50's production numbers.

For a used purchase, rust on the frame, cab floor and load bed, plus the condition of the clutch and brake system, are decisive, since many vehicles spent decades in hard construction or agricultural use. Parts for the W50 are relatively well supplied through Eastern European specialist dealers and classic-vehicle clubs, while parts for the rarer L60 are considerably harder to find.
