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:

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
