The van is the modern day work horse and has many uses in today’s society. We usually use these vehicles to transport goods or groups of people over long or short distances throughout the country. Vans come in all shapes and sizes and are often referred to as light commercial vehicles or LCV. If you are considering buying or hiring a van then there are many models to choose from.
These vehicles are reliable and durable vehicles popular with tradesmen and courier services because of their ability to transport large (even heavy) loads over long distances. The design splits this vehicle into two main sections, with a spacious passenger cabin in the front and an even bigger cargo bed situated at the rear. These vehicles come in a range of shapes and styles such as double swing door access, single elevated door access and even slide access doors.
PickupsThe pickup otherwise known as a compact pickup is the most common style of pick up truck sold on the market today. This is like a smaller version of the two axle heavy truck, with a strong built frame that provides structure, a conventional cab (for passengers) and leaf spring suspension on the rear wheels. It has an open back trailer for storage or transportation with an optional waterproof cover (if needed). These vehicles are usually fitted with small engines that can be run on either fuel or diesel.
These vehicles were first introduced back in the 1960s in North America by Japanese manufacturers and dominated the market until the late 1970s. To this day compact pickups still dominate the European market, although they are more popular in rural areas.
SUV stands for "Sport Utility vehicle", and is a vehicle that combines the cargo capacity of a pickup truck and the passenger carrying space of a minibus or station wagon. These vehicles are hardwearing and durable and are designed to be driven on or off road. Most full size SUVs have three rows of seats with a cargo area situated to the rear of the vehicle.
