The MAN 630 is a five-tonne lorry, made by German manufacturer Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg, from 1953 until 1972.
The German Bundeswehr (Federal Defence Forces) purchased approximately 30,000 units of the L2, and used it as their standard lorry alongside the similar five-tonne Mercedes-Benz LG 315.
[4] From the engine, the torque is sent through a dry single-disc clutch to a non-synchronised, constant mesh six-speed gearbox (ZF Allklauengetriebe Type 6–55).
It is designed for an input torque of 55 kp⋅m (539 N⋅m), and was made in either a horizontal shift, or a H-shift layout.
[7] In order to split the torque unevenly between front and rear axle to prevent any wheels without ground contact from spinning freely, the MAN 630 L2AE models for the Belgian Land Component were fitted with a central differential lock.
