The project is based on a Hyundai HD78 chassis. The engine is D4DB turbodiesel, 3.9 l, about 140 hp.
Body type — dry-freight (non-insulated) body, external dimensions 5,200 × 2,200 × 2,200 mm. That leaves 5,150 × 2,150 × 2,150 mm, 25 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is ≈ 23.8 m³ (5,150 × 2,150 × 2,150 mm), counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones.
The interior lining is galvanised sheet. The floor is chequered aluminium. Doors: rear barn doors, full body width.
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 dry van is about volume and protection rather than temperature: furniture, appliances, building materials, boxed goods, removals. The cargo is shut away from rain, dust and prying eyes. Usable volume here is ≈ 23.8 m³ (5,150 × 2,150 × 2,150 mm) — 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: Foton Aumark (4.2 m), GAZelle Business 3302, HINO 300 (side opening), Iveco Daily 50C15. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.
