MAN LX and FX ranges of tactical trucks

The LX and FX were two ranges of purpose-designed tactical military trucks built by MAN, the military truck business that is now part of Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles. The lighter LX range was introduced in 1988 on the militarised M2000 medium commercial chassis, with two and three axle layouts that carried between 3.5 and 10 tonnes and could be flown in a C-130 Hercules. The heavier FX range followed in 1990, first on the F90 and from 1992 on the F2000 heavy commercial chassis, and both used MAN's modular military cab. A small MX range was built only for the German Navy. The LX and FX were replaced in production from 2004 and 2005 by the HX range, and users included Germany, Greece, Spain, Oman, Luxembourg, Bangladesh and Turkey.
