About these figures
Load volume is the manufacturer's stated cargo volume for that body, in cubic metres. Makers measure it slightly differently, so treat small gaps as a tie. Each version is a typical fleet specification; every figure links to its manufacturer source on the van's own page. A dash means we have not verified that figure yet, and a van with an unverified load space figure is not on this list until we have. The list updates itself as we add and re-check vans.
