MAN L 2000

The MAN L 2000 is a light truck range that MAN introduced in 1993 after its cooperation with Volkswagen on light trucks ended that year. The range began at 7.49 tonnes gross weight and used a cab closer in design to MAN's own heavy trucks, taken from the Austrian truck maker Steyr, which MAN had acquired four years earlier. Engines ranged from 120 to 220 horsepower. From the year 2000 the lightly revised series was called the LE 2000, the E standing for Evolution, as in the last stages of the heavy F 2000 and the medium M 2000. The LE 2000 and ME 2000 were built at the MAN plant in Steyr until production ended in 2007.
