Harmand Et Fils Bethalu – bodywork on a light commercial chassis: 4-cylinder diesel of 2,299 cm³, 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, 138 km/h, 3,680 mm wheelbase, built 2011–2013
The register entry names Harmand Et Fils as the bodybuilder, not the manufacturer of the underlying chassis. Firms of this kind fit a purpose-built box body, special coachwork or functional fit-out onto someone else's chassis, without building the engine or chassis themselves. Going by its figures, the Bethalu is a light commercial vehicle carrying such a body.

The Bethalu is powered by a 4-cylinder diesel engine of 2,299 cm³ and reaches a top speed of 138 km/h. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and a kerb weight of 2,420 kg, 1,080 kg of payload remains. The wheelbase measures 3,680 mm, the width 2,100 mm.
With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, the Bethalu sits right at the boundary of EU vehicle class N1, which can be driven in the European Union on a category B licence. A four-cylinder diesel of this displacement was a common power source in the period stated for chassis onto which bodybuilders erected special coachwork.
When buying a used vehicle with special bodywork, besides the usual check of engine, brakes and running gear, the condition of the bodywork itself matters most: sealing against moisture, the state of its attachment to the chassis, and any corrosion at the mounting points between body and frame. Parts for the body itself are often only available directly from the bodybuilder, while engine and chassis parts can be sourced through the regular trade for the underlying base vehicle.

What to check before buying
