    Quickly find the right solutions for commercial vehicles

    With chassis and vehicle technology from AL-KO VT, you can tailor your commercial vehicle precisely to your requirements. The following topics will take you directly to the right solutions:

    Chassis technology for commercial and specialist applications

    Flexible chassis for a wide range of applications

    AL-KO VT is a certified partner of Fiat Professional, Citroën, Peugeot, Opel and Mercedes-Benz VanPartner. The commercial vehicle chassis can be flexibly adapted to operational requirements, for example in terms of frame length, wheelbase, number of axles or body type.

    Your benefits at a glance:

    • Higher payload thanks to lightweight construction
    • Variable wheelbases and overhangs
    • 2- or 3-axle versions
    • Improved suspension and driving stability

    Good to know: With selected AL-KO VT low-frame chassis, the frame can be lowered by up to 310 millimetres compared to the original frame. The lower frame height can make loading and unloading easier and offers additional scope for different body concepts.

    Depending on the base vehicle and configuration, further benefits may be available in terms of payload and driving behaviour. In addition, driver assistance systems such as ESC may also be available and can support safety and comfort in day-to-day operations. The actual available payload always depends on the specific vehicle configuration.

    Increased payload and low loading edge

    Depending on the base vehicle and configuration, AL-KO VT chassis are available as high-frame or low-frame variants as well as two- or three-axle models. Suspension systems and accessories are also offered for selected vehicle variants. Technical features such as a wide track chassis, optimised damping and ESC ensure safe driving behaviour even under heavy loads.

    The chassis can be customised in many areas, for example in frame length, wheelbase, track width and overhang. Hot-dip galvanised, bolted frame components ensure durability, corrosion protection and a service-friendly design that can help reduce fleet downtime.

    AL-KO VT chassis as a base for bespoke body solutions

    Commercial vehicle chassis can be combined with a range of body solutions. The choice of solution depends entirely on the requirements of each business. Platform vehicles for the trades can be realised just as readily as car transporters, sales vehicles or spacious horse transporters.

    The 2- or 3-axle chassis can be fitted with a box body. Refrigerated box bodies can also be used to transport perishable food and goods. A network of body solutions partners is available throughout Germany.

    Suspension technology and accessories for commercial vehicles

    Accessories and spare parts can expand the functionality of your AL-KO VT chassis. These include, for example, suspension systems that can improve comfort and driving safety. Available options include the Air Premium X2 or Air Premium X4 air suspensions, as well as the Air Plus additional air suspension system. Spare wheel carriers mounted at the rear of the chassis and towbars are also available. The suitability of each solution depends on factors such as the permissible trailer load, the specific vehicle requirements and the corresponding approvals. Vehicles can also be fitted with ClickFix steady legs from AL-KO VT. These help stabilise vehicles even on uneven ground.
