Vans

Scope note

Enclosed, boxlike vehicles with high sides originally intended for carrying light cargo or for trade use; motorized versions often have side and rear doors and may have seating for passengers; generally the driver, passengers, and cargo are all enclosed within the body. Use "panel trucks" for light delivery vehicles with high sides in which the driver's cab is separate from the cargo space.
