A commercial vehicle is any type of motor vehicle used primarily for transporting goods, passengers, or paying customers rather than for personal use. This includes trucks, vans, buses, and taxis that are owned or operated by businesses or organizations. Commercial vehicles are subject to specific regulations, insurance requirements, and licensing standards depending on their size, weight, and purpose. They play a crucial role in industries such as logistics, transportation, delivery, and public transit.
