Fiat/Plandex – other models: the collective page of chassis with independent bodywork on the Fiat Ducato base, four-cylinder engine of 2.2 to 2.3 litres, gross weight 3,500 kg
This page gathers models under the register designation Fiat/Plandex, which marks chassis fitted with bodywork by an independent coachbuilder. Both versions listed here are based on the Fiat Ducato, one under the designation Ducato/Z, denoting a particular body variant from this coachbuilder's own range.

The register lists 2 versions here with displacement from 2,184 to 2,287 cm³ from four-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 2,460 to 2,705 kg, a uniform gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, a length of 7,050 mm and widths from 2,170 to 2,180 mm.
Independent bodywork on the Ducato chassis is common among coachbuilding firms that turn them into box, refrigerated or mobile workshop bodies for regional distribution transport; the gross weight of 3,500 kg keeps both versions within the category B driving licence, allowing them to be used without additional entitlements.
For a used example, check the condition and mounting of the body to the chassis, the tightness of the roof and side panels, the condition of the clutch and brake system, and corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches given the considerable body length; also check the frame for twist, the rear tie-down points and the door seals. Drivetrain parts run through the Fiat dealer network, and body parts through the coachbuilder.
