4x4 Vehicles

4x4 Trucks – Maximum Traction for Extreme Conditions

When the road ends, performance begins. At Van Vliet Automotive, we supply high-quality MAN 4x4 vehicles designed for demanding terrain, extreme weather conditions, and heavy-duty applications. Built for reliability and traction, a 4x4 truck offers superior off-road capability while maintaining the comfort and efficiency expected from MAN engineering.

Whether you operate in construction, forestry, military logistics, oil & gas, mining, or remote infrastructure projects, our MAN 4x4 trucks provide the durability and control needed to operate where standard road trucks cannot.

 
What Makes a 4x4 Truck Different?

A 4x4 vehicle features two axles with power delivered to both the front and rear axles. This all-wheel-drive configuration ensures maximum traction on:

• Muddy terrain
• Sand and desert environments
• Snow and ice
• Mountain roads
• Construction sites
• Unpaved or remote locations

Unlike 4x2 trucks, which drive only the rear axle, 4x4 vehicles distribute engine power across all driven wheels, significantly improving grip and stability in challenging conditions.

 
Built for Tough Environments

MAN 4x4 trucks are engineered to perform in the most demanding operational environments. Reinforced chassis components, heavy-duty drivetrains, and robust suspension systems ensure long-term durability even under constant stress.

Ideal industries for 4x4 trucks:

• Construction and civil engineering
• Mining and quarry operations
• Forestry and timber transport
• Oil & gas sector
• Utility and emergency services
• Defense and specialized logistics
• Off-road expedition vehicles

These trucks are designed not only to move cargo but to operate reliably in extreme climates and terrain.

 
MAN 4x4 Engine Performance & Drivetrain

At Van Vliet Automotive, we supply MAN 4x4 trucks equipped with powerful and efficient engines.

Engine Options

Depending on the model, MAN 4x4 trucks are available with:

• D15 engines
• D26 engines
• D38 engines

Performance range:

• Power output from approximately 330 HP up to 640 HP
• High torque for heavy pulling capacity
• Optimized fuel injection systems
• Advanced exhaust after-treatment technology

All vehicles are available in various emission standards, including:

• Euro 5
• Euro 6

Export specifications for non-European markets

This ensures compliance with both European regulations and international operational requirements.

 
Transmission & Drive Systems

MAN 4x4 vehicles can be equipped with:

• MAN TipMatic automatic transmission
• Manual gearbox options
• Transfer case with selectable all-wheel drive
• Differential locks for maximum traction

The MAN TipMatic automatic transmission improves driving comfort while optimizing fuel efficiency. For specialized off-road use, manual gearboxes may be preferred for precise control.

Differential locks and off-road gear ratios allow the truck to maintain traction even on steep or unstable terrain.

Suspension & Chassis Strength

A 4x4 truck must withstand harsh conditions. That is why MAN 4x4 vehicles feature reinforced suspension and chassis systems.

Suspension Options:

• Heavy-duty parabolic leaf spring suspension
• Reinforced off-road suspension packages
• Optional rear air suspension (depending on configuration)

Leaf spring suspension is particularly suited for rough terrain, providing durability and load stability even under extreme stress. The high-strength chassis frame allows for various body configurations while maintaining structural integrity.

 
Axle Capacity & Load Performance

MAN 4x4 trucks are built for strength and balance.

Typical specifications include:

• Front axle capacity: approx. 7.5 – 9 tons
• Rear axle capacity: approx. 11.5 – 16 tons (depending on model)
• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): typically 18 – 26 tons
• Optimized weight distribution for off-road driving

The driven front axle significantly improves traction while maintaining steering precision.

 
Tire Configuration for Off-Road Capability

Tires play a crucial role in 4x4 performance.

Common configurations include:

• 315/80 R22.5 off-road tires
• 13R22.5 heavy-duty profiles
• Deep-tread all-terrain tires
• Reinforced sidewalls for rugged terrain

Off-road tire profiles improve grip on loose surfaces such as sand, gravel, and mud, enhancing overall vehicle stability.

 
Body Configurations & Custom Builds

At Van Vliet Automotive, we offer both ready-to-work MAN 4x4 trucks and fully customized body solutions.

Available body types:

• Tipper body for construction
• Flatbed body for equipment transport
• Crane-mounted truck
• Hooklift system

Customization options include:

• PTO installation
• Hydraulic systems
• Winch systems
• Additional fuel tanks
• Roof racks and storage modules
• Reinforced bumpers and protection plates

We collaborate with professional body builders to configure vehicles according to your exact operational needs.

 
Safety & Driver Assistance

Even in off-road conditions, safety remains essential. MAN 4x4 trucks are equipped with advanced systems such as:

• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
• EBS (Electronic Braking System)
• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
• Hill start assist
• Adaptive cruise control (road use)
• Advanced braking systems

These technologies improve control and driver confidence both on and off the road.
