Cargo van
A kind of van · also called panel van, commercial van
About
A cargo van is a full-size commercial work vehicle built with a tall, enclosed rear to carry heavy goods.
Cargo vans are significantly larger than minivans but smaller than the walk-in step vans used by major parcel delivery services. Commercial makers produce them in multiple lengths and roof heights, with high-roof models allowing workers to stand upright inside the cargo bay. Because they omit rear passenger seats and windows, nearly the entire vehicle body is dedicated storage space. Even with their large size, most standard models are engineered to fit within normal road lanes and standard parking stalls.
