An insulated van on the medium-duty JAC N90 is a workhorse for anyone who does not need cold but does need volume and cargo protection. A Cummins ISF3.8 with 152 hp and 491 N·m, air brakes with ABS, 9,030 kg gross weight, 4,300 kg payload. A body of up to six metres with a side door and a retractable step: a round with a dozen stops is done without walking around the truck and without a loading dock.

More about the design on the page insulated vans.
A JAC N90 insulated van are taken for cargo that needs protection from heat and cold without active cooling: bread and confectionery, packaging and paper, pharmacy and perfume batches on a short run. The body slows the warming and cooling of the cargo — in summer it keeps the interior from overheating, in winter from freezing.
The chassis payload is 4,300 kg, and an insulated body is lighter than a refrigerated one: without the unit and its frame, more usable load remains than with a reefer on the same N90. If cold is needed after all, the body is fitted with a unit and becomes a refrigerated van — the van itself does not need rebuilding.
A 50, 80 or 100 mm sandwich panel of our own manufacture, frameless — no thermal bridges along the ribs. Inside, the body is lined with galvanised sheet: the walls are flat with no protrusions, it can be hosed down, and a pallet or trolley will not tear the lining during loading. The floor has an anti-slip surface.
Rear swing doors plus a side door: on a route with frequent stops the order goes out through the side door without opening the whole load space from the rear. Under the rear doors there is a retractable step: it folds into the subframe and does not stick out beyond the outline, but when needed the driver climbs into the body without blocks or a dock. The ceiling light switches on from inside — no need to hold up a phone in the dark.

Where the number comes from:How many pallets fit in an isothermal van
The project is based on a JAC N90 chassis with a 3,845 mm wheelbase. The engine is Cummins ISF3.8s5154 diesel, Euro 5, 152 hp (112 kW). Gross weight 9,030 kg, so the driver needs a category C licence.
Body type: insulated — without a refrigeration unit, external dimensions to suit the job; up to 6 m on this chassis.
The interior lining is galvanised sheet, flat walls with no protrusions. Doors: rear swing doors plus a side door.
Fitted equipment: retractable step, ceiling lighting.
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.
A side door changes distribution logistics: at each stop you open it rather than the whole rear portal — less cold escapes and the truck can park tight against its neighbour.
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), Foton 5163, GAZelle Next A21R32, GAZon NEXT. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.
