FRP insulated van on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis
A 5.2-metre insulated body on a light chassis: an 80 mm sandwich panel, FRP lining outside and inside, an anti-slip moisture-resistant plywood floor and a lashing rail along the wall. A side door on the side and swing doors at the rear, a deflector on the cab roof.

How this body is built
The project is based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis.
This is a insulated, sandwich panel; externally the body is 5,200 × 2,260 × 2,400 mm. That leaves 5,040 × 2,100 × 2,240 mm, 80 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is ≈ 23.7 m³ (5,040 × 2,100 × 2,240 mm), counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones.
The floor is anti-slip moisture-resistant plywood. Doors: rear barn doors + a side door.
Fitted equipment: a lashing rail along the wall, reflective contour tape.
Why it is built this way
Laminated transport plywood is lighter than metal, does not rattle under boxes and resists moisture thanks to its coating. A sensible floor for boxed cargo; daily trolley work calls for aluminium.
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.
What is in the photos
- Front three-quarter view, the whole vehicle, roof deflector on the cab
- The full right-hand side: side door with a rod lock
- Rear three-quarter view, swing doors and the glass-reinforced plastic body
- Rear doors open: the body inside, a lashing rail along the wall
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 ≈ 23.7 m³ (5,040 × 2,100 × 2,240 mm) — the block below 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), Foton 5163, GAZelle Next A21R32, GAZon NEXT. 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.
Inside 5,040 × 2,100 × 2,240 mm · 23.7 m³
The layout scheme is on the right: it shows how the rows sit and how much room is left.

The same one, made to order
The body is built on the customer’s chassis or supplied turnkey with the chassis.
