Vb Techniek Master 6X2: light lorry in EU class N2 with a four-cylinder engine, 2,953 cc displacement, six wheels, a gross vehicle weight of 6,000 kg and a kerb weight of 5,740 kg, built 2004 to 2007
Vb Techniek is a Dutch name pointing to a vehicle-engineering or conversion business rather than to a separate vehicle manufacturer. The Master 6X2 recorded here from 2004 to 2007 is built on a chassis named Master, fitted with an unusual 6x2 configuration.

The Master 6X2 is driven by a four-cylinder engine of 2,953 cc displacement. At a length of 9,700 mm and a width of 2,400 mm, the vehicle rides on six wheels and a wheelbase of 6,200 mm; kerb weight is 5,740 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 6,000 kg the Master 6X2 falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t. Only 260 kg separate kerb weight from gross weight: a margin this small is unusually tight for a six-wheel vehicle over 9.7 m long and points to a heavy, permanently mounted body that already accounts for most of the gross vehicle weight, rather than to a lorry for variable cargo.
Buying such a converted six-wheel chassis second-hand starts with checking whether the registration matches the body's actual weight, since later conversions quickly eat into the payload margin. The four-cylinder engine of almost 3 litres calls for a check of the turbocharger and cooling system, and the extra axle on this 6x2 chassis should be checked for even load distribution and tyre wear, together with the extra driveshaft and its bearings, which do not appear on a simple two-axle chassis of this size.
