Opel Movano Polyvolume: high-volume box body with a 7,140 mm length, 3,500 kg gross weight and a 2.3-litre diesel engine, model year 2014
The base of this vehicle is an Opel Movano, a large chassis used for van and box bodies. The Polyvolume name here denotes a dedicated box body built for large load volume, which extends the vehicle well beyond the length of a standard panel van.

The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 2,299 cc. Gross vehicle weight is 3,500 kg, kerb weight with the body fitted 3,080 kg, leaving only around 420 kg of payload. Overall length is 7,140 mm, wheelbase 4,730 mm, width 2,150 mm. This version was registered in 2014.
At 3,500 kg gross weight the vehicle falls into EU class N1. The low payload relative to the vehicle's length shows that load volume, not load weight, is the point here, as is typical for distributing light but bulky goods on the last mile.
Buying a used high-volume box body like this, the body panels deserve attention for damage and moisture ingress, as do the mounting points fixing the body to the chassis for corrosion and secure attachment. Since overload is reached quickly on a vehicle with such low payload, it is also worth checking the braking system and tyre wear, which can be uneven on a vehicle habitually run close to its weight limit, and confirming that the conversion is properly registered against the base chassis, since mismatched paperwork on a body this large can be costly to put right afterwards.
