Iveco 70C18/DG – three-axle conversion on an Iveco Daily chassis, EU class N2: 3.0-litre four-cylinder engine, 7,490 kg gross weight and 5,100 mm wheelbase
This vehicle is based on an Iveco Daily chassis in the heavy 70-class weight bracket, of the kind converted across Europe by independent bodybuilders for specialist applications beyond the standard range. Such extended Daily chassis with an added axle serve as the base for motorhomes, mobile workshops or special-purpose vehicles where payload and storage space matter more than manoeuvrability.

For the 70C18/DG the register lists a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2,998 cc. Kerb weight is 4,805 kg, gross vehicle weight 7,490 kg. The vehicle is 8,920 mm long, 2,410 mm wide and has a wheelbase of 5,100 mm, carried on six wheels.
At 7,490 kg gross weight the vehicle falls into EU vehicle class N2 for medium commercial vehicles between 3.5 and 12 tonnes. The third axle spreads the extra body weight over more wheels, which keeps axle loads within legal limits on long, heavy special bodies.
When buying a used three-axle chassis of this kind, check the condition of the extra axle and its bearings, the brake system on a vehicle with this payload, and rust on the frame extension and mounting parts. Chassis and drivetrain parts run through the Iveco dealer network; supply of parts for the individual body depends on the specific converter. Door seals and roof vents on the long body are also worth a close look.
