The KCT-truck
The Project:
For testing and presenting purposes of their own products, KCT built a
company-owned motorhome on the basis of a Mercedes Benz LU1921.
Its main aim is to test and present the KCT-products. The best way to
realize this is to present an innovative motorhome, which is special
itself. For this reason the “MAN Standard Allroud” has been
abandoned in favour of the Mercedes Benz LU1921.
Construction:
The KCT-truck is made for highway and off-road-use. The off-road-use of
the truck is limited because of its base frame. Important for us is
above all a long range combined with self-sufficiency and enough room
for a 4-person-familiy and option for an overnight guest.

Overall view
|
The large/small specials:
A large volume body with 7,5m length based on a highly agile and easy
to handle chassis with 4 seats in the cab. The standard interpretation
for a body with 7.5m would be a 3-axle-chassis with double cab. Total
length 10,4m.
Due to its mid-engine another convenient feature results: a very quiet cab. Here “unprocessed” without body.
