G4 Eco-Mobiliteit: a very compact class N1 utility body with a 2,020 mm wheelbase, 1,370 mm width and a 2,100 kg gross weight
The register entry lists Van Blitterswijk as the registration holder; the added name Eco-Mobiliteit points to a vehicle concept for short inner-city trips, of the kind Dutch small-series builders produce for municipal or commercial customers. What is clear is the vehicle class itself, set directly by its weight and dimensions.

At 4,110 mm long, with a very short 2,020 mm wheelbase and only 1,370 mm of width, this vehicle is among the smallest bodies in its class. Kerb weight of 1,532 kg leaves only about 570 kg against the 2,100 kg gross weight for cargo and occupants. The narrow track allows it onto paths and passages too tight for a normal panel van.
As a class N1 vehicle, the G4 can be driven on a category B licence since the gross weight sits well under 3.5 t. Its extremely compact dimensions point to use in inner-city cleaning, postal or care services, where manoeuvrability in tight spaces matters more than load volume.
When buying a used vehicle this compact, the condition of the steering and the steering knuckles matters, as they take more strain on such a short wheelbase than on larger vehicles. The tyres should also be checked for even wear given the narrow track, since misaligned geometry leads to one-sided wear faster on small vehicles like this, and worn suspension bushings show up sooner too.
