What are the business vehicles?
4 Answers
Business vehicles include the Hongqi L5, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Maybach S-Class, Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6L, etc. Definition of business vehicles: The full name of MPV is Multi-Purpose Vehicle, which integrates the functions of sedans, station wagons, and vans. Each seat in the vehicle can be adjusted and combined in various ways. Advantages of business vehicles: Spacious interior: 7-seater business vehicles feature large space designs, often with face-to-face conference table setups, allowing business professionals to conduct meetings directly inside the vehicle. High safety standards: 7-seater business vehicles are equipped with comprehensive seat belts, standard safety headrests, and front and rear safety brakes.
The range of commercial vehicles is actually quite broad. The most common are MPVs like the Buick GL8, with three rows of spacious and comfortable seats, suitable for transporting clients or family trips. Light passenger vehicles such as the Transit and Iveco can carry both people and cargo, often used as utility vehicles by small businesses. On the higher end, there are models like the Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Alphard, featuring airline-style seats with leg rests, making them ideal for hosting VIPs with prestige. Nowadays, new energy vehicles have also joined the mix, such as the Denza D9 hybrid, which is fuel-efficient and quiet, leading many companies to start purchasing them. Even 7-seater SUVs like the Li L9 can be considered within the commercial vehicle category, with second-row features like refrigerators and foldable tables for convenient mobile office use. For reception purposes, vehicle configuration is key, with sound insulation and chassis comfort being the most important factors.
Last year when my friend's company was purchasing commercial vehicles, I did some research. The key is to consider passenger and cargo needs: For employee commuting, a 9-seater light passenger van like the Maxus V80 is affordable and practical; for business receptions, the GL8 offers decent prestige with independent second-row seats featuring armrests; for transporting samples and equipment, the cargo version of the Transit is ideal with its 3-cubic-meter rear compartment; if picking up VIP clients at the airport, the Alphard is a must despite its small trunk, as it creates an unparalleled ambiance. Currently, government procurement favors new energy vehicles, with the GAC Aion Y being particularly popular. Honestly, hybrid models offer the best value at the same price point, reducing corporate vehicle costs by 30-40%.
Our fleet consists of six business vehicle models. For short-distance receptions, the Odyssey offers flexibility and easy parking, while the Viloran is more stable for long-distance highway trips. We always keep two cargo version Transit vans in the warehouse - with the rear seats removed, they can carry two tons of goods. The most expensive is the Lexus LM, exclusively used for picking up listed company CEOs - its partition glass can turn frosted, and the seats feature massage with an aroma system. Actually, the GL8 is the all-rounder, with annual inspections and insurance being much cheaper than luxury cars. We've recently added the Zeekr 009 pure electric model, which can run 500 kilometers on a full charge, reducing fleet costs by 40%, though the range still drops when using the heater in winter.
