What is the difference between passenger cars and commercial vehicles?

[DelMorgan]

The difference between passenger cars and commercial vehicles lies in their definitions: Passenger cars refer to sedans and vehicles primarily designed for carrying passengers with no more than 9 seats, including SUVs, MPVs, racing cars, and household pickup trucks. Commercial vehicles encompass all trucks, special-purpose vehicles, military vehicles, engineering vehicles, all buses with more than 9 seats, as well as tractors, agricultural vehicles, and mining vehicles. Passenger cars are mainly used for transporting people and their luggage or occasionally goods, with a maximum capacity of 9 seats including the driver. Commercial vehicles are designed and technically characterized for transporting both people and goods. Compared to the old classification, commercial vehicles include all freight trucks and buses with more than 9 seats.
