SAXAS Nutzfahrzeuge Werdau MKD – bodies on a four-cylinder chassis: displacement 2.0 to 2.3 litres, 2,386 to 2,783 kg unladen weight, 3,500 kg gross weight, 2,250 mm width
SAXAS Nutzfahrzeuge is a bodybuilder based in Werdau in Saxony that fits commercial chassis with its own bodies. The MKD range held in the register covers several such versions, whose additional suffixes L, N and U distinguish individual variants within the range. All of them share the same four-cylinder chassis with a gross vehicle weight of 3.5 tonnes as their common base.

The register lists here 5 versions from four cylinders of 1,995 to 2,287cc displacement, unladen weights from 2,386 to 2,783 kg, a uniform gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and a uniform width of 2,250 mm.
Vehicles of this weight class with a 3.5-tonne gross weight typically serve as the base for municipal and commercial special bodies, where a standard chassis is combined with a body tailored to the specific use. The narrow weight span between the versions points to a chassis base with similar equipment across the range, and the fixed 3.5-tonne ceiling keeps the vehicles within reach of a standard car driving licence in many markets.
When buying a used vehicle of this type, check the mounting of the body to the chassis frame, corrosion at the connection points, and the usual check of the engine, brakes and wiring of the underlying chassis. Parts for the body itself, given the low numbers built, must be sourced mainly from the manufacturer or specialist commercial-vehicle workshops in central Germany.
