Home / Light trucks
The COND plant makes and fits bodies on all popular light trucks in Kazakhstan: GAZelle Next and Business, KIA Bongo, Hyundai Porter, FAW and JAC N35. On a category B light truck we fit an insulated van, refrigerator, dry-freight body, curtain-side, bread van or ice-cream van — the body is designed for the specific chassis with the factory warranty preserved. Installation in Almaty, delivery across Kazakhstan. Need a heavier class — every chassis is sorted by payload on the Trucks made to order page.
A light truck (mini-truck, light goods vehicle) is a commercial vehicle with a payload of up to about 1.5 tonnes, for which a category B licence is enough. Such vehicles are chosen for economy, city manoeuvrability and a low loading height. COND fits bodies on the whole class — a chassis comparison for the body is below:
| Chassis | Payload | Vehicle category | COND body up to | Engine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GAZelle Next / Business | 1,500 kg | B | 3.2 / 4.2 m | petrol Evotech 2.7 |
| KIA Bongo K2500 | 1,500 kg | B | up to 4.0 m | diesel 2.5 |
| Hyundai Porter (H100) | 1,500 kg | B | up to 3.2 m | diesel D4CB 2.5 |
| FAW 1027 (T80) | 800 kg | B | up to 3.2 m | petrol 1.5 / diesel |
| JAC N35 | 1,500 kg | B | up to 3.4 m | petrol 2.0 |
| Shineray T30 | 1,300 kg | B | up to 3.0 m | petrol 1.6 (124 hp) |
| Shineray T50 | 1,865 kg | B | up to 3.7 m | petrol 2.0 (150 hp) |
Exact specs depend on configuration and batch. Check the chassis price with dealers and the body price with a COND manager.
The body type depends on the cargo. On a light truck we fit any of the bodies:
Most often a light truck is bought for food distribution around the city. For chilled goods (dairy, vegetables, drinks) an isothermal body with a 50–80 mm panel is enough — it holds the cargo in range for 6–8 hours without a unit, thanks to slow warming. For meat, fish and frozen goods a reefer is required: an isothermal body of 80–100 mm plus a Carrier, Elinge or Kaida refrigeration unit for −18…−20 °C. For ice cream — a eutectic ice-cream body, which holds deep cold without the engine running. A detailed breakdown is in the article 'How to choose a 1.5-tonne truck'.
The main advantage of a light truck is a category B licence: no category C driver is needed, so hiring staff is easier and cheaper. Low fuel consumption and affordable servicing in any Kazakh city lower the cost per kilometre. Compact dimensions allow working on narrow streets and entering yards where a heavy truck won't fit. And COND bodies are designed for the Kazakh +40 °C summer — the unit reaches its mode and holds cold rather than running itself into the ground.
COND builds a light-truck refrigerator entirely: we select the chassis (or fit it on yours), design an insulated body for the volume and mode, install the refrigeration unit, charge it and handle the vehicle-passport entry. All in one place, with a warranty on the body and equipment. Calculate the volume and pallet capacity in the van configurator, and you can compare chassis with each other in the comparison section.
Need a ready flatbed vehicle rather than a body on your own chassis? We stock light flatbed Shineray trucks with a metal three-side drop-down platform — both models require only a category B licence. COND also builds an insulated or refrigerated body turnkey on the same chassis.
