Baeten – other models: the collective page of box and van bodies on 3.5-tonne chassis outside the named ranges, 1,971 to 2,500 cm³ displacement, 2,209 to 2,780 kg unladen weight, distribution and courier transport
Baeten is a bodybuilder that fits closed box and van bodies onto light commercial chassis of the 3.5-tonne class; type designations such as CBM 3500, FP 3500 and PE 3510 carry the class's gross weight as a number in the name. This page gathers the Baeten types the register could not assign to a named range.

The register lists here 6 versions with displacements from 1,971 to 2,500 cm³, all four-cylinder, unladen weights from 2,209 to 2,780 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg and widths from 2,200 to 2,330 mm.
Bodies such as Baeten's serve mainly distribution and courier traffic, which on common van chassis needs a closed, often insulated box for parcel or chilled goods; such body-building firms compete for chassis from makers like Mercedes-Benz, Iveco and Renault against numerous other box-body specialists. Unlike the chassis makers themselves, such body-building firms rarely appear on the market under their own brand, instead supplying their bodies mostly through vehicle dealers.
On these bodied vehicles, the tightness and condition of the box body, corrosion at the join between body and chassis, and the function of the rear door or ramp all matter; chassis technology follows the parts channels of the respective base vehicle, while body parts are sourced from Baeten itself. Buyers should also check whether the body's registration documents match the underlying chassis type approval.
