MAN F 90

The MAN F 90 is a heavy truck range that appeared in 1986 and replaced the F 9. Its cab was completely redesigned although the styling stayed close to its predecessor, the most obvious difference being indicators that moved lower into the bumper, and from 1986 the dots between the letters of the MAN logo disappeared. The models were introduced step by step until 1988, and the intermediate weight class received its own series, the M 90. The top engine gave 460 horsepower, which made MAN the leader in output among European road trucks for a time, and later rose to 500 horsepower; the engines were inline six cylinder units of 290, 330 and 360 horsepower and a V10 of 460 horsepower. A second engine generation, a five cylinder of 320 and a six cylinder of 422 horsepower plus the V10, was later also used in the F 2000. The F 90 is now made only by Shaanxi in China, which began building it in 1986 as an independent manufacturer, and kits go to Shacman Motors in the United Arab Emirates.
