Bodybuilding

Northside Truck & Van work closely with Mercedes-Benz custom tailored trucks to deliver special, detailed tailored vehicles direct to door from factory. The provision for custom bodybuilding on the Econic is huge thanks to a host of bodybuilding features, improved arrangements and cab communications. The low frame is equipped with a full-length hole pattern at 50 mm intervals and across four rows, with a removable rear cross member allowing for a high feature access.

Cab wiring has been optimised for improved communications from the vehicle to body. Wiring for the bodies can be installed through an empty pipe leading from the frame into the cab and a new "Plug & Play" interface makes the connecting very easy.Text here ...
