Iveco 35S18 (NPS) – conversion on an Iveco chassis with single rear wheels, 4.10 m wheelbase, 3,500 kg gross weight and 1,215 kg payload
The 35S18 type designation in the Iveco Daily range follows a fixed pattern: the 35 marks the weight class around 3.5 tonnes, the letter S denotes the version with single wheels on the rear axle. The operator NPS fitted its own body onto this chassis, as is common for chassis 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 2,285 kg, 1,215 kg remain for body and load – a comparatively high share, pointing to a light body. The overall length is 7.57 m with a 4.10 m wheelbase, and the width is 2.10 m; no figure for top speed is on record for this vehicle.
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 1,215 kg. The combination of a long overall length and high payload points to a light but voluminous body, suited to bulky but not particularly heavy goods. The single rear wheels carry this payload with even distribution, without needing dual wheels.
When buying a used vehicle of this kind, it is worth checking the frame extension for distortion, since the long body under full payload puts more strain on the frame than shorter versions. The bolted connection between frame and body, and the mounting spacers, should be checked for play and corrosion. As a light body is often built from thinner-walled material, the floor structure and side walls should also be examined for flexing and damage.
