Univan Other models

The register lists here 8 versions, four-cylinder throughout, at 2,800 cm³, unladen weights from 3,160 to 4,570 kg, a gross weight of 5,800 kg, lengths from 7,400 to 9,350 mm and widths from 2,250 to 2,300 mm.

With a uniform engine capacity and uniform gross weight but varying unladen weights and lengths, the range shows a typical chassis family of a smaller commercial-vehicle maker, in which one base engine drives several body and wheelbase variants. Vehicles in this weight class take on distribution and municipal routes for which large trucks are uneconomical and small vans underpowered; a single chassis with several body variants keeps servicing and parts stock simple for the operator.

Buying used, these chassis need checking for rust on the frame and load bed, the condition of the braking system and axle mounts, and the availability of engine and body parts, which for a small, regionally rooted brand is often limited and requires targeted research from a vehicle historian. Also worth checking is the condition of the load-bed floor and fittings such as side boards and lashing points, which wear most under commercial use.
