What Type of Vehicle is a Light Van?

[LeJulianna]

Light vans belong to the category of small trucks. Trucks can be classified into four types: heavy-duty, medium-duty, light-duty, and mini. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks are issued large truck license plates, commonly known as yellow plates, while light-duty and mini trucks are issued small truck license plates, commonly known as blue plates. A light van refers to a vehicle with high railings or a fully enclosed structure, typically with railings measuring 160-200 cm in height. The main differences in specific vehicle parameters are: 1. Trucks with a length ≥6m and a total weight ≥12,000kg are classified as heavy-duty trucks; 2. Trucks with a length ≥6m and a total weight ≥4,500kg but <12,000kg are classified as medium-duty trucks; 3. Trucks with a length <6m and a total weight <4,500kg are classified as light-duty trucks; 4. Trucks with a length ≤3.5m and a load capacity ≤750kg are classified as mini trucks.
