The project is based on a Foton Auman ETX, chassis index 5163 chassis.
This is a insulated body, sandwich panel; externally the body is 7,500 × 2,600 × 2,500 mm. That leaves 7,292 × 2,432 × 2,292 mm, 100 mm panel, 80 mm sides inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is 40.6 m³, counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones. In a single tier that is 15 Euro pallets.
The interior lining is a smooth light panel with no ribs or rivets; a ribbed aluminium border along the bottom of the walls. Doors: hinged rear; the sill and the bottom of the doors in ribbed aluminium.
The refrigeration unit is none — the body is prepared for a unit. Fitted equipment: side underrun protection, a rear bar and mudflaps.
What is in the photos

- The body from the side along its full length
- Rear doors open, smooth lining and ribbed aluminium along the bottom

Who it suits
An isothermal body does not produce cold — it slows heat exchange with the outside. Such a van is chosen for short runs and for cargo loaded already chilled: bread, confectionery, drinks, groceries. Usable volume here is 40.6 m³ — the block above estimates the load in pallets.
We will build the same — to your size and your chassis
This body is not a catalogue item but a project we actually built. We will make the same one to your dimensions: length, width and height are calculated for your cargo and the chassis payload, rather than fitting the cargo to a ready-made size.
We also fit it to your own chassis: bring the vehicle, we take the frame dimensions, build the body, mount it and hand it over with the conversion paperwork.
If you are still choosing a chassis, we have the same body on other bases as well: FAW 1027 (T80), GAZelle Next A21R32, GAZon NEXT, HOWO T5G. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.
