Title: Cars & payloads
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on May 16, 2012, 03:56:41 pm

Anyone know of a database of car payloads at all ?

Also if you work from a car would you mind saying what motor it is and whats the payload on it

Cheers

Hi,
I don't think there is a database on car payloads.

When I worked for Citroen pre 2003 Multispace 2.0 hdi had a payload of 450kgs which I got from a phone call to Citroen Slough on behalf of one of my customers. The panel vans were 600 and 800 kgs payloads, depending on model.

I was told the reason why they were less was that the Multispace was a people carrier and needed to be more softly sprung.

I would assume by that reply that most people carriers based on panel vans would have a lower payload that the panel van.
