MAN's 10.136F does not look like a 10-tonner and does not drive like one either. It uses the MAN-VW MT cab, and although badged as a MAN its main difference compared with the six to nine-ton MT range is to be found in a heavier rear axle and an additional leaf in the rear-spring pack. The small, low mounted cab is ideal for a distribution vehicle and its ride and handling qualities would do credit to a much lighter vehicle.
The MAN is rated at 100kW (135bhp) and develops 353Nm (260 lbft) of torque. A low finaldrive ratio of 4.87 to 1 helped the 5.68 litre, naturally aspirated diesel engined vehicle to return good journey times over the A road sections through Wales. the motorway, running wit maximum geared speec 61mph, the MAN strained maintain progress near the h limit.
The overall average fuel sumption of 19.311it/10C (14.63mpg) was achieved wi payload of 6.08 tonnes.
