Depending on the type of van, it can be bigger or smaller than a [[pickup truck]] and [[SUV]], and bigger than a common [[car]] but relatively smaller than a [[truck]]/[[lorry]] or a [[bus]]. Panel vans (vans whose cargo space has no side windows) are used for deliveries and carrying goods. These usually have large cargo space and few windows. A van which is used to carry people is often called a ''[[minibus]]''. It can usually carry many people, sometimes up to a total of 15. Many companies make vans, including [[Chevrolet]], [[Daihatsu]], [[Dodge]], [[Fiat]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[GMC]], [[Honda]], [[Hyundai]], [[Isuzu]], [[Mazda]], [[Mercedes-Benz]], [[Mitsubishi Motors|Mitsubishi]], [[Nissan]], [[Subaru]], [[Suzuki]], [[Toyota]], [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]], and [[Volkswagen]]. You may usually drive a van with the same [[driver's license]] as an ordinary car, but the heaviest and largest vans may require a [[truck]] licence. == List of van models == {{Main|List of van models}} ==Minivan== A minivan is smaller and usually carries up to three people (like in [[Hatchback|hatchbacks]], [[Station wagon|station wagons]], and [[SUV|SUVs]]. ==Related pages== {{Commonscat|Vans}} * [[Ambulance]] * [[Pickup truck]] * [[Truck]] {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Vans| ]]
