How this body is built

The body is built on a GAZelle Next A21R25, 3,145 mm wheelbase chassis with a 3,145 mm wheelbase. The engine is UMZ EvoTech 2.7 petrol + LPG (propane), Euro 5. Gross weight 3,500 kg — a category B licence is enough.

Body type — refrigerated body, sandwich panel, external dimensions 3,200 × 2,000 × 2,000 mm. That leaves 3,000 × 1,800 × 1,800 mm, 100 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is 9.7 m³, counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones. In a single tier that is 4 europallets.

The interior lining is galvanised sheet. The floor is chequered aluminium. Doors: hinged rear, a folding ladder.

The refrigeration unit is Elinge C2 — cooling. Operating range: down to −20 °C.

Why it is built this way

Ribbed aluminium flooring is chosen where cargo moves on trolleys: the sheet takes no moisture, hoses down and does not delaminate under wheels. It is heavier than plywood but outlasts it severalfold.

Walls and ceiling are lined with galvanised sheet — the factory standard for a van body: it shrugs off moisture, takes a pallet-corner knock and is replaced in sections rather than whole panels.

Who it suits

A body with a refrigeration unit carries anything perishable: meat and fish, dairy, ready meals, flowers, medicines. The unit holds the set temperature while parked too, so the truck also suits distribution runs with long stops. Usable volume here is 9.7 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: Chevrolet Labo, DongFeng C31, FAW 1027, HINO 300. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.

How many pallets fit

A standard 1,200 × 800 mm europallet, single tier, no restacking. Internal dimensions with a 50 mm laying allowance — a pallet will not go in dead tight.

FAQ

FAQ about the refrigerated van on a GAZelle Next A21R25

Because this is a city vehicle. The GAZelle NEXT comes with two wheelbases: 3,145 mm for a 3,200 mm body and 3,745 mm for a 4,200 mm body. The short one turns in yards and shop car parks where the long one no longer fits. The payload is the same for both — 1,500 kg; the difference is only in volume. A comparison of the wheelbases is on the page GAZelle Next.

The floor of a refrigerated body sits high above the frame, and climbing in at every stop without a step is awkward. The folding ladder is fixed under the rear overhang, unfolds in a second and does not get in the way while driving. Over a shift with 15–20 stops that is a noticeable time saving.

Down to −20 °C. The Elinge C2 unit is rated for bodies up to 11 m³ in the sub-zero range and up to 16 m³ at 0 °C — ample for a three-metre body. The version with heating (C2T) is ordered separately if the cargo must not be frozen in winter.

The walls and roof are galvanised sheet; the floor and the kerb along the bottom of the walls are chequer-plate aluminium. You can see it in the photo with the rear doors open. A body like this hoses down and shrugs off roll cages: in store delivery it is exactly the lower walls and the floor that wear out.

Yes. The Elinge unit is driven by the engine and does not care what fuel that engine burns. The cylinder sits under the frame and takes no space beneath the body. Gas makes the kilometre cheaper, and for rounds covering hundreds of kilometres a week that is a visible line in the budget.

Yes, the body is a series product. It is fitted to both wheelbases of the GAZelle Business and to the GAZelle Next, with the same specification: folding steps, galvanised lining, an aluminium floor. The refrigeration unit model is chosen by body volume and range — the whole line-up is on the page Elinge.

The price is made up of the body and the unit. The unit is quoted from the Elinge price list, the body from its configuration: length, panel thickness, doors, interior fit-out. Leave a request or write on WhatsApp and we will send a quote. COND does not publish prices for bodies.

COND is a factory with its own WMI manufacturer code, so we issue the full set of conversion paperwork and the entry in the vehicle passport.
