Sommer – other models: the Finnish collective page of commercial vehicles on the Movano base and its own TA–TIM type series, 80 to 115 kW, 6,000 to 7,380 mm length

This page gathers the Sommer commercial vehicles the Finnish vehicle register could not assign to a named range. The model designation "Tavara-auto" (Finnish for goods vehicle) and the Opel/Renault Movano base confirm the Finnish register origin; the collective page also carries its own type series with the designations TA, TGSL, TIB, TIL and TIM.

The register lists 8 versions here with recorded outputs from 80 to 115 kW, displacements from 1,968 to 2,287 cc from four-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 2,387 to 2,845 kg, a consistent gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, lengths from 6,000 to 7,380 mm and widths from 1,993 to 2,350 mm.

The consistent 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight limit shows that these vehicles are meant to stay within the category B driving licence, i.e. below the truck registration threshold, while the lengths, considerably greater than the standard Movano, point to extended or specially built chassis, common in the Finnish market among transport and haulage firms.

When buying used, these Movano-based builds call for checking rust on the frame extension and body attachments, the condition of brakes and suspension under the high permitted payload, and the standard Movano diesel technology with turbocharger and particulate filter; parts for the base run through the Opel/Renault network, and for the bodywork through regional Finnish suppliers.
