Van Waarde – other models: light commercial vehicles between the KVW, KVW 3400 and KVW 3500, 4-cylinder 2,500 cm³ engine, 2,810 to 3,220 kg unladen weight
This page gathers versions of the Van Waarde marque that the register could not assign to a named range: the KVW, KVW 3400 and KVW 3500; the numbers 3400 and 3500 in the name correspond to the respective version's gross weight.

The register lists here 3 versions with a four-cylinder engine of 2,500 cm³, unladen weights from 2,810 to 3,220 kg, gross weights from 3,400 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,230 to 2,360 mm.
With gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes, these vehicles sit at the upper end of the light-commercial class that can be driven without any licence beyond the standard car category, making them attractive for trades and small-scale haulage.
On a used light commercial vehicle of this kind, rust on the frame and load-bed mounts, the condition of the engine and clutch under typical payload, the brake system, and axles and suspension, which see heavier use than on passenger cars when regularly loaded, all count.
The wide wheelbase range of 3,990 to 4,920 mm shows that the KVW name covers not a single chassis but several length variants for different bodies; a shorter wheelbase favours manoeuvrability in distribution driving, a longer one gives more load length for bulky goods at the same gross vehicle weight. A category B licence is sufficient for any of these versions as long as the gross weight stays at or below 3.5 tonnes, which is why the KVW 3400 and KVW 3500 share the same licence requirement despite the different weight figure in their names.
