The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2.2 litres (2,198cc) and produces 120kW. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,470kg, a payload of 1,030kg remains. The length of 6,130mm, on a wheelbase of 4,040mm and a width of 2,140mm, corresponds to a long body with a horse box. Top speed is given as 150km/h.
Horseboxes of this kind combine a ventilated, padded box for one or more horses with storage space for tack and equipment; the payload of just over a tonne at full gross vehicle weight must cover both the animals' weight and the equipment. As a vehicle up to 3,500kg gross vehicle weight, it remains driveable on a category B licence.
When buying a used horsebox, alongside the usual chassis checks — brakes, turbocharger, suspension under load — what matters most is the condition of the box padding and partitions, the function of ventilation and lighting in the horse area, and the slip resistance of the floor covering, since it must withstand the animals' weight and movement over years of use. The thermal insulation of the box is also worth assessing, since it protects the animals from extreme temperatures when travelling on hot or freezing days.
