PEUGEOT has introduced the 504 Commerciale pickup truck and chassis-cab in France. Outside coachbuilders will deliver anything from an ambulance to a tipper.
Power is either 1618cc petrol or 1948 cc diesel, rated at 62 and 59bhp respectively. Gearing is via four-speed Peugeot all-synchromesh gearbox with a columnmounted lever. Rear suspension is of true truck type with semielliptic leaf springs, but the monocoque body structure is retained.
The 504 Commerciale is built on a 3m (9.8ft) wheel base and has a track of 1.41m (4.6ft) front and 1.42m (4.65ft) rear. It has a payload capacity of 1100kg (21.7 cwt) and can pull trailers up to 1400 kg (27.6) laden weight.
