Light delivery van
Definition
A small-sized utility vehicle, usually derived from a passenger car chassis, equipped with a closed cabin dedicated exclusively to the transport of light goods, urban deliveries, or express courier services. Due to its compact structure and high maneuverability, this type of vehicle is ideal for small-scale commercial activities, allowing easy access to narrow streets in urban areas where large transport vehicles face weight restrictions.
