Designed with conversions in mind
Following
up the success of the flatbed cab version of the
Berlingo First – the
only such model in the segment – the New Berlingo also
exists as a
flatbed cab, designed together with conversion
experts.
The
vehicle’s one-tonne payload means coachbuilders can
convert it into a
refrigerated vehicle, pick up, tipper or a
medical-intervention vehicle.
The New Berlingo also boasts “full CAN” electrics and
electronics,
which reduce the size of wiring bundles and boost
reliability.
This architecture provides customers with new
functionalities,
including cruise control and a speed limiter, tyre
pressure monitoring,
and a Bluetooth hands-free kit.
But the secure, specific protocol does not enable
connections with
complementary adaptations to equipment proposed by
coachbuilders.
So the New Berlingo comes with a dedicated interface
giving
coachbuilders access to the functions necessary to
their conversions
without affecting the electric/electronic integrity of
the vehicle.
This Coachbuilder Transformation Box (CTB) is
available on the LCV
(standard on the flatbed cabin model) and on the
passenger vehicle for
conversions to vehicles for people with reduced
mobility.
It is systematically associated with a battery,
starter and maximum-power alternator.
