Dear David,
their homepage is:
http://www.man-nutzfahrzeuge.de/
but you won't find any information relating the military trucks there.
You
must know: Military vehicles are political correct in Germany. The
victors of
WW2 tought us that everything relating military is bad and ugly. So no
company here tells the public that they produce military equipment.
The nice cute 4x4 (5 tonnes payload), 6x6 (7 tonnes payload) and 8x8 (10
tonnes payload) were produced in the Salzgitter plant of the MAN
factory,
which is located around 15 miles from here. Sometimes I have to work in
this
plant and have a look to the production line of the military trucks.
The address of the plant is:
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG
Werk Salzgitter
Heinrich-Büssing-Str. 1
38239 Salzgitter
Germany
Tel.: +49 5341 280
FAX: +49 5341 281413
For a picture have a look at the Bundeswehr Homepage at:
http://www.bundeswehr.de/bundeswehr/heer/waffensysteme.html
and click on the trucks (LKW) you want to see.
Best regards
Andreas
