Three wheelbases — three body lengths

The key thing to know about the JAC N200 before ordering a body: the chassis comes in three wheelbases, and the wheelbase decides directly what length of body will fit and how many cubic metres you get.

Wheelbase	Body length	Volume (2.5 × 2.6 m inside)	Suited to
4,200 mm	6.2 m	≈38 m³	urban and regional delivery, pallet loads
5,300 mm	8.2 m	≈50 m³	intercity work, chain supply, consolidated freight
6,200 mm	9.5 m	≈58 m³	trunk routes, the most volume on two axles

Volume is calculated at internal dimensions of 2.5 m wide and 2.6 m high. The exact figure depends on the sandwich-panel thickness: the deeper the temperature mode, the thicker the wall and the smaller the internal volume.

Which body to choose for the job

Refrigerated van. The most common request on this chassis. For 38–58 m³ you need a larger unit — a Carrier Citimax 1000, a Supra with its own diesel, or an Elinj S5 max. Worth remembering: a manufacturer states a unit’s limit as a pair of temperature and volume, and a model that holds −20 °C in twenty cubic metres will manage nothing in fifty. A ready configuration is on the page for the refrigerated van on a JAC N200.

Insulated van. The same body without a unit: lighter, cheaper and with more payload. Chosen when the load needs protection from heat and frost but no active cooling. A completed project — the insulated body on an N200. If cold is needed later, the body takes a unit without rebuilding the van itself.

Dry-freight van. The most payload for the same volume: a thinner wall and no unit. For consolidated freight, packaging, furniture and appliances.

Flatbed and curtain-side. When side and crane loading matter. On a two-axle chassis of this length that is already a trunk-route format — supply, metal, building materials.

What to consider before ordering

Axle load. On a long body the centre of gravity moves much further: load from the rear and you overload the rear axle; shift forward and you lose traction. We do the axle-load calculation before work starts, and it also determines where the body sits on the frame.

Weight versus volume. The N200 has the cubic metres, but the gross weight is set by the manufacturer: 19,980 kg. Everything the body weighs comes off the load. For light bulky goods 58 m³ works; with heavy freight you hit the weight limit long before you run out of walls.

Subframe. The longer the body, the more its connection to the frame matters. A galvanised subframe spreads the load along the whole chassis and absorbs twist on rough ground — and once assembled you cannot get to it, so this is not the place to economise.

Route. A truck of this length belongs on trunk routes and at large distribution centres. Access to yards and underground car parks is worth checking beforehand, not after the purchase.

The JAC N200 against the N120 and N90

The three chassis cover different weight classes. Here is what changes as you move up the range.

Parameter	JAC N90	JAC N120	JAC N200
Engine	Cummins ISF3.8, 152 hp	Cummins ISF3.8S5168, 166 hp	Cummins ISD285, 271 hp
Torque	—	592 N·m	1,006 N·m
Gross weight	9,030 kg	11,980 kg	19,980 kg
Payload	4,300 kg	7,690 kg	up to 13.5 t
Body length	up to 6 m	6.2 m	6.2 / 8.2 / 9.5 m
Brakes	—	air, ABS	air, ABS
Cab	day cab	day cab	SHORT / NORMAL / LONG, with a sleeper berth

A practical guide: N90 — urban delivery and retail chains, N120 — regional routes and pallets, and the N200 — trunk routes and the most volume without moving to three axles. If you keep hitting the weight limit on an N120, the next step is the N200: there is nothing in between.

Engine and gearbox: what it means on the road

The Cummins ISD285 is an in-line six of 6.7 litres with 271 hp and 1,006 N·m from as low as 1,200 rpm. Torque matters more than power here: it is what decides how the truck pulls away uphill fully loaded and holds speed on a long climb without constant shifting. The eight-speed manual gives enough ratios to keep the engine in its torque band rather than straining.

Air brakes with ABS are the required minimum for a gross weight approaching twenty tonnes. The cab comes in three versions: SHORT, NORMAL and LONG with a sleeper. The last one makes sense only if the truck really spends nights on the road; for urban and regional work a sleeper is extra kilograms and extra money.

How many pallets fit

Counting by volume is awkward — count by floor length. A Euro pallet is 1.2 m and sits crosswise in a single row at an internal width of 2.5 m. Hence a simple guide:

Body length	Pallets in one tier	Volume
6.2 m	≈14 Euro pallets	≈38 m³
8.2 m	≈18 Euro pallets	≈50 m³
9.5 m	≈22 Euro pallets	≈58 m³

Two tiers hold twice as much, but only if the load allows it and the payload is there. In practice long-haul work runs out of weight before it runs out of space — so always check the pallet count together with the weight of a single pallet.

What it costs and how the price is built

The price has three parts: the chassis, the body and the mounting. The chassis is bought from a dealer; the body and the work are ours. Body cost depends on length, sandwich-panel thickness, the refrigeration unit model, doors, lighting and fittings. We do not publish body prices: there are too many configurations and any “average” figure misleads. Leave a request and we will price it for your load and route the same day.

Warranty and paperwork

We fit the body while keeping the factory chassis warranty — three years or 200,000 km. 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. Production takes from 14 working days once the configuration is confirmed; longer bodies take longer, and we give the exact time in the quotation.

FAQ

Which bodies suit the JAC N200?

Heavy-duty insulated and refrigerated bodies, dropside platforms and high-volume dry-freight vans for intercity work.

What engine does the JAC N200 have?

Cummins ISD285 diesel (6.7 L, 271 hp, 1,006 Nm). Early batches came with a less powerful version — check with a manager.

Which wheelbase should I choose?

It sets the body length: 4,200 mm gives a 6.2 m body and about 38 m³, 5,300 mm gives 8.2 m and about 50 m³, 6,200 mm gives 9.5 m and about 58 m³. The choice follows the load: light bulky goods take the longest body, while with heavy freight a long body makes no sense — you hit the gross weight before you run out of walls.

What refrigeration unit does such a volume need?

For 38–58 m³ the larger models apply: a Carrier Citimax 1000, a Supra with its own diesel, or an Elinj S5 max. Any unit’s limit is quoted by the manufacturer as a pair of temperature and volume — a model rated for twenty cubic metres will manage nothing in fifty.

Is the chassis warranty preserved after a body is fitted?

Yes, we fit the body while keeping the factory warranty — three years or 200,000 km. 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.

How long does manufacturing take?

From 14 working days once the configuration is confirmed. Longer bodies take longer: more panel, a longer subframe and a more complex axle-load calculation. We give the exact time in the quotation.
