Oddly enough, it's the second most important vehicle in the movie.

Looks a lot like a 1954-59 Mercedes-Benz L-Something (L315 / L325 / L326 / L329 / L334).
Apparently known as [L52] in the IMCDb, but once more, don't ask where this code come from... :D

if we simply can agree that it is a "Langhauber" ? :D

LS 325 most likely but LS for sure with S standing for Sattelschlepper.

I've a book called "Model List" or "Baumuster-Liste" in German, Edition F, 1972.

According to that the L stands for Lastkraftwagen, translated as Truck in English, but also HGV can be used. And the S stands for, as andrepa stated, Sattelschlepper, translated into semitrailer in English. That is a Truck that has a possibility to attach a trailer.

Hence I agree with "LS", but how do you know what engine is fitted?

Hi zodiac, just anticipated 325 by a L/LS 325 sales brochure showing such a tanker, but you are right iz could be a LS 315 as well

Best thing would be to identify by searching for fleet of Petrofrance ...

Better than trying to guess something unverifiable, why not just giving it he [L52] code without a model name (and without unknown, of course), as made for a lot of other MB vehicles?
Examples: W124, L59, L70 and so on.

It appears just in the "comment balloon" (or whatever the accurate name is) when hovering the mouse over the picture in the main page of this gallery, but this one is said to be a LS 334:

Thank's all for the information, but when trying to have a look on the various models, one much more fundamential question pops up. What does L52 stand for?
I cannot find any references to the L52 on the Internet, that is information I can trust, and I cannot find it in the book.

-What year was the L52 first used, and when was it stopped being used?
-Is L52 a reference created by Mercedes themselves or is it short for the engine OM 352 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_OM352_engine ?
One reason for my question is that the L6600, or the L5400 http://camionargentino.blogspot.se/2013/10/mercedes-benz-l-5400.html looks much the same as the L325.

I often asked about some generic codes given in the IMCDb (here is the last time ;) ), but I almost never had an answer so far. It must be a secret, jealously guarded by some admins :D
My idea is to have it classified with its siblings, and then wait until someone find the accurate series name: it will then be easier to modify all similar vehicles. And I don't see the point to have it staying as unknown when identified and as it only lacks a kind of impossible to distinguish from similar models name...

dear eLMeR here in Germany everyone is familiar with nicks like Langhauber, if we just could ad in the extra info?
the very intersting heavy duty LS 334 in your reference seems to be interims version with modernized Wackenhut cab non split window, although have to admit, still an Langhauber , Mercedes allways introduced new technic with established series... ours is a older model 1954 LS 315 or 325 more likely.

I have no objection to nicknames, as long as they are used for all concerned vehicles. The trouble is that there is for now nothing to connect this truck to its "siblings", when written this way, all the more as it makes it the only one of its kind.
And the "unknown" isn't accurate, as said above, as it's just "impossible to tell one model over the other"...

⇒ Mercedes-Benz Langhauber [L52]?
