#Maybe theres an indian or Chinese manufacturer that builds this exact van? I know wuling makes a few different sizes of their vans

A Honda Freed with a stock Accord K24 swap would get you really damn close. Pull the interior to drop a little weight and free up cargo space, you'd likely end up a touch over 1200kgs. Not sure if it could handle a full sheet of plywood, though. If you had to, I suppose you could chop the body behind the b-pillars and graft on an aluminum or fiberglass cargo van or cargo trailer body. Hitting that low weight target with that enclosed cargo capacity is hard working with OEM platforms. Everything that big is too heavy, everything that light is too small.

someone should build a cheap, reliable, sub one ton work van that can fit a 2420x1210 sheet of plywood either flat or standing. 500kg load capacity, sorted suspension, 2.4L 160hp petrol motor with plenty of torque and a manual 6 speed box. also 3 seats up front if possible.

think of a new Hiace, but FWD, smaller wheels, narrower arches in the rear, coil springs and a fibre glass body. 

thats what i want
