A Renault 50 series that has been built into a horsebox. Curb weight is 3.7 t.
Two fat poines weight about 800 kg together.
There is no official economy figures but typical community is between 11 - 15 l / 100km
Last time I performed a test (2015) with 2 horses and a leaking fuel pump I got 12,5 l / 100km
