FITTED with axles and Other components already used in the Mercedes-Benz 0.309 minibus, new wide-body variants of the Dusseldorf-built transporter include four models 31cm wider overall than the existing versions.

Use of wider track axles has permitted construction of boxvans of a volume previously only possible by mounting special bodywork on Dusseldorf chassis.

The four new variants, each with a load volume of 20cum, are available for payloads from 2080kg (L 508 D) to 31 50kg (L 613 D) and are fitted with the OM 314 four-cylinder diesel engine of 63kW or, in the case of the L 613 D, the OM 352 six-cylinder unit of 96kW.

Inside dimensions of the new vans are 2165mm wide, 1930mm high and 4970mrr long. The nearside sliding dm has also been enlarged to a clear width of 1100mm to give improved access. The L 613 13 maximum weight version has a new dual-circuit air-hydraulic braking system with load sen• sing on the rear axle. Brakes are self-adjusting with lining weal indicated visually in the cab.
