The record

Options were an electro-pneumatic rear differential lock and a gearbox with shorter top three ratios and a 5.083 final drive in place of 4.188. It was bought mainly by administrations and utilities — EDF and the Post — and the army; in 1997 a C15 D First 600 converted by Dangel cost 107,437 francs against 76,340 for the standard van.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

Catalogue fields describe the vehicle's structure and body as this registry records it. They are not certified factory measurements, and no performance figures are published here.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
