Finnish registration statistics assign this vehicle to the general category of special-purpose vehicles, pointing to a body built for something beyond ordinary general cargo. With a gross weight of 7,490 kg, the vehicle belongs to the class of lorries between 3.5 and 12 tonnes, as used for municipal and special commercial tasks.

A six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4,249 cm³ produces 75 kW and drives a 6,800 kg chassis that is 2,530 mm wide. With an overall length of 10,250 mm and a gross weight of 7,490 kg, the margin for payload is only around 690 kg, pointing to a long but light body rather than a classic box body.
Such a long chassis combined with a comparatively low gross weight is typical of vehicles with a special but light body, for example for municipal, service or workshop tasks where space matters more than high payload. The 75 kW engine is geared towards steady working speeds rather than long-distance pace.
When buying such a special vehicle used, it is worth checking the long frame for distortion and corrosion, since a length of over ten metres puts more strain on the frame than on shorter chassis. The body and fittings should also be checked for tightness and function, along with the six-cylinder engine for smooth running and oil consumption after decades in service.
