Alko MC – the register entry for AL-KO's MC range: four-cylinder diesel chassis of 2,500 to 2,800 cm³, gross weights of 3,500 to 4,500 kg, chassis and running-gear technology from Kötz in Bavaria
This collective page gathers AL-KO's MC range in the register. AL-KO Kober SE, headquartered in Kötz in the Bavarian district of Günzburg, is a diversified group whose vehicle-technology division supplies chassis, axles and running-gear components for trailers and light commercial vehicles to body builders across Europe. The MC versions recorded in the register show the four-cylinder diesel engines of around 2.5 to 2.8 litres typical of this vehicle class, and body weights in the range between 3.5 and 4.5 tonnes gross weight, as is usual for chassis carrying third-party bodies. The suffixes T and XTA in the type designation mark different equipment levels of the respective chassis.

The register lists 5 versions with displacements from 2,500 to 2,800 cm³ from four-cylinder engines throughout, unladen weights from 2,980 to 3,660 kg and gross weights from 3,500 to 4,500 kg; lengths range from 6,460 to 7,700 mm, widths from 2,220 to 2,320 mm.
As a supplier of chassis and running-gear technology, AL-KO serves numerous body builders in this weight segment, and depending on registration practice appears itself as the manufacturer in the vehicle register, while the drivetrain still comes from the respective base-vehicle maker.
On a used MC-range vehicle, the corrosion protection of the galvanised chassis frame, the condition of the suspension and axle bearings, the mileage and service history of the four-cylinder diesel engine, and the electrical connections between chassis and body all count; running-gear parts run through AL-KO, engine-specific parts through the respective base-vehicle maker.
