"T2" looks more like a VW name than a Mercedes name ![]() |

And it has almost the same meaning: Transporter No.2 With MB it is not used for counting through the generations, but T2 means it it the 'big brother' of the T1. |

600 series big van from Mercedes - 614/615/618 D. The last 2 numbers are for the motor horsepower. It looks like a double tyre axis at the back, so I would say it's a 618. The truck at the right is a MAN 8.xxx, the forklift most possibly from Jungheinrich, as it matches the typical look and painting scheme of that manufacturer. |

So we could add this info to other similar Mercedes vans ? Since we do not have "W" chassis number for them I guess. |

@ antp : Yes, we could include this code for other MB trucks as well. I will look for a complete list. @ mm : 600 is not a series, but the gross weight. The T2 model started with the 507D (5t,70hp) and ended with the 814D (8t,140hp). The follow up Atego had more powerful engines. As I cannot tell which version it is, I intentionally left this field blank. I will leave it to you to pick one of the list or leave the field empty: * 507 D - 72 PS Vierzylinder Dieselmotor, 4600 kg * 510 D - 95 PS Benzinmotor, 4600 kg * 609 D - 90 PS Vierzylinder Dieselmotor, 5600-6600 kg * 709 D - 90 PS Vierzylinder Dieselmotor, 5600-6600 kg * 711 D - 115 PS Vierzylinder-Turbomotor, 5600-6600 kg * 809 D - 90 PS Vierzylinder Dieselmotor, 7500 kg * 811 D - 115 PS Vierzylinder-Turbomotor, 7500 kg * 814 D - 136 PS Vierzylinder-Turbomotor (ab 1988) |
