Pfau Rexter A6500: chassis of vehicle class N2 with a four-cylinder diesel engine of nearly 3 litres, serving as a base for bodywork in regional distribution transport
Vehicles in this weight class, between 3.5 and 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight, belong to vehicle class N2 and usually serve as a base for box bodies, flatbeds or special-purpose bodies in regional distribution transport. Such chassis are often fitted with the matching body by smaller, specialised bodybuilders operating on a regional scale.

The four-cylinder diesel engine of 2,977 cm³ drives a vehicle 6,570 mm long and 1,910 mm wide on four wheels. With a kerb weight of 4,080 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 6,990 kg, the payload comes to about 2,910 kg, carried on a wheelbase of 3,760 mm suited to a compact body rather than a long one.
With a gross vehicle weight of nearly 7 tonnes, the vehicle falls into class N2 and requires a category C1 driving licence. The recorded top speed of 90 km/h matches the general speed limit that applies to trucks of this weight class across the European Union.
When buying a chassis with a body in this weight class, the condition of the body matters as much as that of the chassis: tightness of box bodies, condition of the tail lift if fitted, and corrosion on the frame and axles. The actual payload is worth recalculating from kerb weight and gross vehicle weight, since additional body fittings quickly eat into the available margin on a chassis this size.
