DCC – other models: commercial vehicles of the M/N 135 U and RD 3500 type series, 2.5-litre displacement, 2.7 to 3.3 tonnes kerb weight, 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight

This collective page covers vehicles listed in the register under the DCC code and the type designations M 135 U, N 135 U and RD 3500. The letter and number combinations follow an in-house type logic in which the number 135 points to a power or payload class and the letter U to a drivetrain or equipment variant; RD 3500 in turn refers directly to the range's gross vehicle weight.

The register lists four variants here with four-cylinder engines of 2,500 cm³ displacement, kerb weights from 2,660 to 3,260 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and widths from 2,240 to 2,470 mm.

Vehicles in this weight class around 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight have traditionally marked the line between vans that can be driven on a standard licence and trucks requiring an additional licence category, and were correspondingly common among smaller haulage and trade businesses that relied on a single, versatile vehicle type for both transport and delivery work.

When buying a used commercial vehicle of this class, the condition of the frame and load bed, the brakes, clutch and the diesel engine together with its mileage matter most; with vehicles run close to their gross weight limit, the axles and suspension also deserve close attention. Parts availability should be checked individually before purchase.
