Farid Industrie PN – EU class N3 lorry with a gross vehicle weight of 20,500 kg, a six-cylinder 7,698 cm³ engine and six wheels
With a gross vehicle weight of 20,500 kg, the Farid Industrie PN falls into EU vehicle class N3, the heavy lorry segment above 12 tonnes. Vehicles in this class form the backbone of long-haul and construction-site traffic, where high payloads and a robust chassis are required.

The register lists a six-cylinder engine of 7,698 cm³. Against a kerb weight of 11,500 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 20,500 kg, this leaves a payload of around 9,000 kg. The vehicle is 7,960 mm long, 2,500 mm wide, has a wheelbase of 3,900 mm and runs on six wheels; its permitted top speed is given as 90 km/h.
Heavy lorries in this class are limited to 90 km/h across the EU in any case, as the entry for the PN confirms. The comparatively short 3,900 mm wheelbase combined with six wheels points to a manoeuvrable three-axle or special chassis with a high axle load rather than a long load bed, as is typical of compact construction or municipal vehicles. Driving a vehicle in this class requires at least licence category C1.
When buying a used vehicle in this weight class, check the condition of the braking system under full payload, the seals around the cab and body, and corrosion on the frame, axles and mounting parts. A look at the engine's service history and even tyre wear across all six wheels, along with the availability of spare parts for the specific body, are worth checking too.
