If
its chassis is integrated into the main
structure, the floor of the cabin is in
one piece, with embossed reinforcements.
However, the floor of the load compartment
is in two reinforced pieces. Two embossed
elements form the engine compartment, and
the lateral panels are in two parts welded
together (high and low). It's on a " false
chassis " formed of two length-wise beams
and of square section on all its length,
that the vehicle rests. Even a central
tube is in place for the heating. The
chassis is protected by an thick anti-rust
cover, which also ensures sound-proof.
More globally the cabin is protected by
felts and rubber placed on the wheels
arches. The tail-gate is articulated
upwards, and the hinges are set on
different embossed sheets elements
situated on the roof and the corner panel.
The roof is in one piece. An opening roof
in sheets, at the center, is proposed for
the Deluxe models, and the roof system
opening it comes from the Westfalia type
Bus. Also new, lateral swing-doors have
been replaced by one sliding door or even
two if requested (optional). The gas tank
is situated in front of the engine, under
the sheet of the luggage compartment (on
the pick-up version, it is accessible by a
detachable panel in the boot). Raised
models also exist, not like the Split Bus
Hi-Roof models, but in a poly roof in one
sole piece version. In this case, there is
only one lateral sliding door, and the
volume passes from 5,3 m3 to 6,2 m3. On
the simple cabin and the enlarged platform
versions, the boot has a door, and a
second one is in option.
