The pioneering
TRUCKSMITH design builds on a
decade of experience in this specialist field and is constructed
to fulfil the Renault Accord Technique, an exacting standard
involving the presentation of designs and a prototype
for Renault approval. The beauty of the design is that
the body is fully integrated, not just bolted to the floor
of the platform cab but rather restoring all the original
strength both in torsion and bending, resulting in a complete
purpose built vehicle.
Available with two rear suspension options, steel and
air, the standard steel suspension sees the loading height
at just 550mm roughly half the height of a standard chassis
cab and when fitted with air suspension it is possible
to lower the loading height to kneel down at an amazing
330mm, just a third of the height of a chassis cab.

Along with
the incredibly low loading height and high volume body
on a vehicle which requires no "O" licence,
another unique feature is its stylish aerodynamics and
fantastic fuel consumption. In recent tests it achieved
an average of 27.8mpg. Combine these features with the
fantastic payload and you have an incredibly useful and
desirable vehicle.
TRUCKSMITH provides a wide range
of commercial vehicle bodies manufactured at its purpose
built Devon factory. Complemented by a culture of consistent
improvement and the introduction of proven technology
