Agv TGL E – a medium-heavy chassis close to the 12-tonne mark: gross weight 11,990 kg, wheelbase 4,500 mm, body length 7,750 mm
Agv TGL E is a medium-heavy truck chassis from 2011 that, with a gross vehicle weight of 11,990 kg, stays just under the 12-tonne threshold and still falls into class N2 rather than the heavy N3 class. Depending on the customer's order, such chassis were fitted with various bodies for distribution work, trade businesses or municipal tasks, usually built by a separate body maker.

The register lists a kerb weight of 5,300 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 11,990 kg for this model. The vehicle is 7,750 mm long, 2,300 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 4,500 mm.
The 4,500 mm wheelbase allows body lengths typical of medium box or flatbed bodies, common in distribution work and on construction sites. The gap between kerb weight and gross vehicle weight leaves a sizeable payload margin, suiting the transport of larger loads while still keeping to comparatively simple licensing and registration rules. With a gross weight just under 12 tonnes, the vehicle sits in the upper segment of the medium N2 class, close to the boundary with the heavy N3 class.
For a used example, check the chassis and axles for corrosion, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, brake system operation and, depending on the body, the tightness of the load area and hydraulic systems; a test drive will also show whether the engine and drivetrain are still up to the vehicle's payload and whether handling stays composed under load.
