4x2 Vehicles

4x2 Trucks – Efficient, Versatile & Built for Professional Transport

At Van Vliet Automotive, we specialize in high-quality MAN 4x2 trucks designed for efficient regional and international transport. The 4x2 configuration is one of the most widely used axle setups in the transport industry, offering the perfect balance between fuel efficiency, maneuverability, payload capacity, and operational cost control.

Whether you operate in distribution, long-haul logistics, construction supply, or specialized transport, a MAN 4x2 vehicle provides reliability, performance, and flexibility for daily professional use.

 
What Is a 4x2 Truck?

A 4x2 vehicle features two axles:

• One steered front axle
• One driven rear axle

This configuration ensures efficient power transfer to the road while keeping the vehicle lightweight and fuel-efficient. Compared to multi-axle or all-wheel-drive trucks, 4x2 models offer lower fuel consumption and reduced maintenance costs, making them ideal for road-focused operations.

 
Why Choose a MAN 4x2 Truck?

MAN is globally recognized for engineering excellence, durability, and driver comfort. At Van Vliet Automotive, we supply both new and high-quality used MAN 4x2 trucks that meet the highest European standards.

Key Benefits of MAN 4x2 Vehicles:

• Excellent fuel efficiency
• Strong torque for regional and long-haul transport
• Lower operating costs compared to 6x2 or 6x4 configurations
• High maneuverability in urban areas
• Reliable Euro-compliant engines
• Strong resale value worldwide

MAN 4x2 trucks are particularly popular in fleet operations where efficiency and uptime are critical.

 
Technical Specifications of MAN 4x2 Trucks

Our MAN 4x2 vehicles are available in multiple configurations depending on operational requirements.

Engine & Performance

MAN trucks are typically equipped with powerful and efficient engines from the D15, D26, or D38 series.

Performance highlights:

• Power output ranging from 330 HP to 640 HP
• High torque output for heavy loads
• Optimized fuel injection systems
• Efficient exhaust after-treatment systems
• Reliable performance under demanding conditions

These engines comply with strict emission regulations and are available in various Euro norms, including:

• Euro 5
• Euro 6
• Euro 6d

This ensures environmental compliance across Europe and international markets.

Transmission Options

MAN 4x2 trucks are available with:

• MAN TipMatic automatic transmission
• Manual gearbox (selected configurations)
• The MAN TipMatic transmission enhances driving comfort, optimizes fuel consumption, and reduces driver fatigue. Automatic transmission is particularly beneficial for long-haul and distribution operations.

Manual gearboxes are preferred in certain construction or specialized applications where direct gear control is required.

 
Suspension Systems

The suspension configuration plays a major role in driving comfort and load stability.

Available suspension options include:

• Air suspension (rear or full air)
• Parabolic leaf spring suspension
• Reinforced suspension for heavy-duty applications

Air suspension improves ride comfort, protects cargo, and allows adjustable ride height. This is especially beneficial for distribution and dock-loading operations.

 
Axle & Load Capacity

MAN 4x2 trucks are engineered for optimal payload performance.

Typical specifications:

• Front axle capacity: approximately 7.5 – 9 tons
• Rear axle capacity: approximately 11.5 – 13 tons
• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): typically 18 – 20 tons
• High-strength chassis for body customization

The 4x2 configuration ensures strong load distribution while maintaining fuel efficiency.

 
Tires & Wheel Configurations

Proper tire setup enhances stability and operational efficiency.

Common configurations include:

• 315/70 R22.5 tires
• 315/80 R22.5 tires
• Regional or long-haul tire profiles
• Steel or aluminum rims

Optimized rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption while maintaining road grip and safety.

 
Available Cabin Types

MAN 4x2 vehicles are available with different cabin configurations to match operational needs:

• Compact day cab for distribution transport
• Sleeper cab for long-haul operations
• High-roof cab for maximum driver comfort

MAN cabins are designed for ergonomic comfort, featuring advanced driver assistance systems and modern infotainment solutions.

Their versatility makes them suitable for both small fleet operators and large logistics companies.

 
Advanced Safety & Driver Assistance Systems

MAN trucks are equipped with modern safety technologies to ensure driver and cargo protection.

Available systems include:

• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
• EBS (Electronic Braking System)
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Warning
• Emergency Brake Assist
