The vehicle recorded here carries the model name Equistar Basic from one such conversion company.

The 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel produces 99.5 kW. At 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight and 2,350 kg kerb weight, the payload comes to around 1,150 kg. At 5,500 mm overall length and 2,090 mm width, the vehicle falls in the mid-length range of the Master series.
At 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight the vehicle stays in EU category N1 and can be driven on a category B licence. Chassis-based conversions like this take only the cab, frame and drivetrain from the manufacturer, while the load bed or box body comes entirely from the conversion company and carries its own engineering.
On a chassis conversion of this kind, besides the wear typical of the Master's dual-mass flywheel and turbocharger, particular attention should go to the connection between the body and the chassis frame, since quality here varies noticeably depending on the conversion company's workmanship. Electrical connections between chassis and body, for lighting for instance, should be checked for correct routing and chafing points.
