Facot F350 – EU class N2 lorry with a gross vehicle weight of 4,720 kg, an eight-cylinder 7,300 cm³ engine and a 4,090 mm wheelbase
With a gross vehicle weight of 4,720 kg, the Facot F350 falls into EU vehicle class N2, the medium-weight segment of lorries between 3.5 and 12 tonnes. That puts it just above the boundary with the light class N1, which can still be driven on an ordinary car licence.

The register lists an eight-cylinder engine of 7,300 cm³ for the F350. Against a kerb weight of 2,680 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 4,720 kg, this leaves a payload of around 2,040 kg. The vehicle is 6,500 mm long, 2,210 mm wide, has a wheelbase of 4,090 mm and runs on four wheels.
Class N2 vehicles are limited to 90 km/h across the EU. The large 7,300 cm³ displacement against a gross weight of only 4,720 kg points to a strongly powered chassis, suited to towing work or to a heavy body with correspondingly high power demand. Driving it requires at least licence category C1, whereas the lighter class N1, up to 3.5 tonnes, can still be driven on an ordinary category B licence.
When buying a used vehicle of this type, now roughly three decades old, corrosion on the frame, cab floor and wheel arches matters most. The condition of the braking system, the clutch and gearbox behind the large-displacement engine, the seals around the cab and load bed, and the availability of spare parts through independent commercial-vehicle suppliers are worth checking too.
