1. General explanation of technical specifications and terms used

The technical specifications of MAN commercial vehicles are constantly examined, added to and updated as necessary.

1.1 Applicability

This issue is valid in Germany. There may be differences in other countries. The importer will be able to provide details.

1.2 Responsibility

Responsible for the technical part:

MAN Truck & Bus SE
(hereinafter referred to as MAN)

Engineering Vehicle Truck

1.3 Applicable guidelines

Observe the guidelines to fitting bodies when making any modification to a chassis and when fitting a body to a vehicle. The latest and valid guidelines to fitting bodies may only be found on the Internet at http://www.manted.de/. Department Engineering Vehicle Truck Application Engineering (address above) is responsible for the guidelines to fitting bodies.

1.4 Dimensions and weights

Unless stated otherwise, dimensions are in millimeters (mm) and weights in kilograms (kg). "Weight" or "load" means the mass of a vehicle or parts of a vehicle in a stationary (steady) state.

Weights, loads and dimensions are determined while a vehicle is standing, with the wheels pointed straight ahead, no brake operated, and no gear engaged. All axles on vehicles with liftable or relievable axles are in the normal position for driving, i.e. lowered or not relieved.

Note:
National regulations take priority over technically permissible dimensions and weights if they restrict the technically permissible dimensions and weights.

1.5 Tolerances

Equipment other than what is standard can result in a considerable change in weight. This consequently has an effect on payload. DIN 70020 manufacturing tolerances mean that differences in weight figures of +/-5% are admissible.

Differences for non-toleranced dimensions admissible by DIN 7168, i.e. socalled free-size tolerances, do not apply here. The admissible tolerances in each case are shown in the chassis drawings; MAN works standard M3264 is applicable.

1.6 Explanation of terms - theoretical axle center and theoretical wheelbase

Vehicles with more than two axles have a theoretical axle center. This means the position of the wheel center that results by combining admissible single axle loads of an axle group into one axle load. Only on tandem axles with two identical single axles or single axle loads does the theoretical axle center (wheel center) correspond to the geometric center of the tandem axle wheelbase. The theoretical wheelbase is the distance between the theoretical axle centers.

Theoretical axle centers:

-

Theoretical front axle center:

 

This means the position of the front axle center that results by combining at least two admissible single axle loads of a front axle group into one front axle load.

-

Theoretical rear axle center:

 

This means the position of the rear axle center that results by combining at least two admissible single axle loads of a rear axle group into one rear axle load.

1.7 Classification criteria

1.7.1 Model range

This is based on trucks and semitrailer tractors of the domestic sales portfolio of the following model ranges:
