Iveco 35C16 (BMB) – chassis-cab with dual rear wheels, 4.10 m wheelbase, 3,500 kg gross weight, 7.04 m length and a custom body solution
The 35C16 type designation in the Iveco Daily range follows a fixed pattern: the 35 marks the weight class around 3.5 tonnes, the letter C denotes the chassis-cab version with dual wheels on the rear axle rather than the single wheels of the S variants. The operator BMB fitted its own body onto this chassis, as is common for chassis-cab units in this class: cab from the vehicle manufacturer, body built to the purpose required.

The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2,998 cm³. At a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg against an unladen weight of 2,695 kg, 805 kg remain for body and load. The overall length of 7.04 m with a 4.10 m wheelbase gives the long rear overhang typical of chassis-cab units, the 2.27 m width sits within the usual range for such bodies, and the permitted top speed is given as 160 km/h.
At 3,500 kg gross weight the vehicle falls into EU class N1 and can be driven on a category B licence provided body weight and load together do not exceed the remaining 805 kg. Dual rear wheels spread the load of an independent body across four tyres instead of two, increasing stability compared with single wheels, particularly under uneven loading. Chassis-cab units of this kind allow a wider range of body types than a factory panel van.
When buying a used chassis-cab vehicle with a third-party body, it is worth checking the bolted connection between frame and body for play, and the frame side-members for distortion from one-sided loading. With dual wheels, matching tyre pressure and tread depth on both tyres per side should be checked, since one-sided wear points to a persistent uneven load. Brake lines and wiring routed through the body transition area also deserve inspection, as they are often re-routed when the body is fitted.
