MANAS 16.230 FAEG/26.372 DFAEG

     Notes: These two trucks were developed by Germany for Turkish service.  They share most of their components, except for the engine, transmission, and certain structural members; they also share much in common with the German MAN trucks of the same designation.  The cab has a hatch over the commander’s position (not normally with a weapon mount).  The trucks have a winch which can be led out to the front or the rear; capacity is 10 tons if led out to the rear, and 5 tons if led out to the front, and 60 meters of cable are available.  Variants include a snowplow, tipper, tanker, and fire engine.

     The 16.230 is powered by a MAN D 0826 LF08 turbocharged diesel developing 230 horsepower; the 26.372 has a MAN D 2866 LF15 turbocharged diesel developing 370 horsepower. The 16.230 has a 4x4 suspension, while the 26.372 has a 6x6 suspension. The 16.230 has nine forward and one reverse gear; the 26.372 has 16 forward gears and two reverse gears. The 26.372 is 20 centimeters longer than the 16.230. The cabs are identical, but the frame of the 26.372 is longer than the 16.230. Behind the cab on both models is space for vehicle tools, fuel cans, and some personal equipment stowage.
