MAN Truck Books - History and Models

MAN - Kurzhauber und Pausbacke (Schrader Typen Chronik)

In this volume, Wolfgang Westerwelle presents the history of the round MAN short-hood trucks, which made truck history as "Pontonhauber" from 1955 onwards. He also looks at their "chubby relatives", the MAN front-steer trucks of that time.

With the help of original photos, advertising and brochure material from the MAN archive, a vivid picture of that era, which lasted well into the 1970s, is drawn.
A special feature is the print of a brochure from 1962, which provides all the contemporary information on the 415 H cab-over truck and the 415 F front-loader truck built in parallel.

MAN - seit 1915 (Typenkompass)

In 2015, the truck brand MAN celebrated its 100th anniversary - a notable milestone considering how few German truck manufacturers from the past still exist. Today, MAN is part of the Volkswagen Group and remains, alongside Daimler, one of Germany's leading truck makers.

In this type guide, Wolfgang Westerwelle reviews over 100 years of MAN truck history: from the beginnings in 1915, the first in-house designs of the 1920s, the challenging post-war restart, to modern production within the VW Group. Each model is presented with historical descriptions, technical specifications, and photographs.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of MAN truck development and is a valuable reference for collectors, historians, and truck enthusiasts.

MAN - Ein Jahrhundert Lastwagen-Geschichten

The Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg, known today almost exclusively by its abbreviation MAN, was the result of a merger of the companies Maschinenbau Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg and Aktiengesellschaft Maschinenfabrik Augsburg in 1898.
Today the company belongs to the Volkswagen Group, but nothing has changed in the company's position: MAN is, alongside Daimler, the most important German truck manufacturer.

In this volume, Wolfgang Westerwelle documents the history of MAN and its trucks from its beginnings to the present day.
