About Vans

A van, from a contraction of caravan, is a vehicle used to transport goods or people that is larger than a car but smaller than a truck. They are frequently used in local deliveries as well as moving small groups of people. Vans come in a variety of sizes and configurations for different uses and provide a more compact option for hauling goods, particularly on local routes in crowded urban areas, as well as being a secure option for toting tools and equipment for many trades such as HVAC workers.
