Kiefer 1151B: compact 3,500 kg commercial vehicle with a 3,000 cc four-cylinder engine, 1,730 mm width and a 2,310 mm wheelbase at the N1 class boundary
At a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, the 1151B sits at the upper limit of EU class N1, the light commercial vehicles that can still be driven on a category B licence. Vehicles in this weight class are delivered, depending on purpose, as a box van, flatbed or with a special body, according to the design of the respective bodybuilder.

The four-cylinder engine draws on 3,000 cc of displacement. At a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and an unladen weight of 2,775 kg, around 725 kg remain for payload. At 1,730 mm wide and with a short 2,310 mm wheelbase on four wheels, the vehicle is noticeably more compact than a chassis built for a long box body, pointing to a short, manoeuvrable body instead.
At 3,500 kg the 1151B sits right at the boundary with the next class up, N2; above this mark, the EU imposes additional rules such as a different driving licence category and, in part, a tachograph requirement, which is why manufacturers often design vehicles just under 3,500 kg to keep them drivable on a car licence. The short wheelbase favours manoeuvrability over load volume.
For a used example of such a compact commercial vehicle, the condition of the axles and suspension at a short wheelbase matters, since such vehicles often work in stop-and-go city traffic or with changing bodies. Corrosion on the frame, the condition of the brakes at this weight, and the seal of the cab and body against moisture are among the points to check.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
