Opel/Plandex – collective page of Movano chassis with tarpaulin bodies outside the named series: 2,179 cc four-cylinder diesel, gross weight 3,500 kg, length 6,170 to 6,200 mm
This collective page lists Opel Movano chassis carrying the Plandex body designation, which the register has not assigned to a named series of its own. The designation Movano/Z marks a second version of the same base recorded in the register; the Plandex tag refers to the third-party body these chassis were delivered with.

The register lists here 2 versions with a 2,179 cc four-cylinder engine, kerb weights from 2,190 to 2,440 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg, lengths from 6,170 to 6,200 mm and widths from 2,180 to 2,350 mm.
Chassis with tarpaulin bodies of this size carry bulky, weather-tolerant goods such as building materials, pallets or machine parts, loaded from the side and from above where enclosed box bodies reach their limits.
At 3,500 kg gross weight, these chassis remain within EU class N1: a category B licence is enough, no tachograph is required, and neither the distance-based lorry toll nor the weekend driving ban for heavy trucks applies to them, unlike class N2 vehicles above this limit.
When buying used, check the condition of the tarpaulin and its hoops, rust on the platform frame and lashing points, the operation of the side panels and fastenings, the condition of the clutch, brakes and running gear of the Movano chassis, and the parts supply through Opel for the chassis.
