GVM

MEASURED IN

GCM
Gross Combination Mass
Gross Combined Mass (GCM) refers to the maximum combined mass of your loaded vehicle and the item you are pulling (trailer mass) together.
Tare Weight
The weight of an empty vehicle or container.
By subtracting tare weight from gross weight (laden weight), one can determine the weight of the goods carried or contained (the net weight).
Wheelbase
In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles (e.g. some trucks), the wheelbase is the distance between the steering (front) axle and the centerpoint of the driving axle group. In the case of a tri-axle truck, the wheelbase would be the distance between the steering axle and a point midway between the two rear axles.
Torque
Torque provides a simple measurement of the maximum twisting force that engine can generate, when worked at maximum capacity.
Licencing
Truck Licence Information

Alternatively, there is also the option amoungst our light duty Canter range to re-rate your truck (to 4.5t GVM) and drive with a Passenger Car licence.

A pantech is a truck or van with a freight hull made of (or converted to) hard panels. Such vehicles can be used for chilled freight, or as removal vans.
