Fiat Ducato as a single model: four-cylinder diesel at 2,287 cc and 6,500 kg gross weight on a reinforced chassis – a base for a special body in class N2
The Ducato is Fiat's large van range, serving for decades as a chassis for independent body-builders as well, for instance motorhomes, ambulances and car transporters. For bodies with a higher gross weight, Fiat also offers the Ducato in a reinforced chassis version.

The four-cylinder diesel engine, at 2,287 cc, drives a vehicle 9.23 m long and 2.40 m wide, on a 6.00 m wheelbase with six wheels, meaning twin rear tyres. It weighs 4,285 kg unladen and is rated for 6,500 kg gross weight, giving around 2,215 kg of payload.
At 6,500 kg the vehicle sits above the 3.5-tonne threshold for light commercial vehicles and falls into EU class N2 for trucks between 3.5 and 12 tonnes, which requires at least a category C1 licence. The considerable length of 9.23 m on a Ducato chassis points to a long body, of the kind used for car transporters or other bulky loads.
On a used example of this kind it is worth checking the mounting points between chassis and the long body for sagging and corrosion, the brakes given the overall length, and the twin rear tyres, where a flat inner tyre is easy to miss. Service history of the diesel engine and the availability of spare parts, which is good for the widely used Ducato, deserve the same attention, along with the condition of the ramps, winches or tie-down points fitted to the body for whatever it is built to carry.
