Types of Commercial Vehicles for Your Business Use

Posted: Nov 09, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Commercial vehicles are company-registered cars used for transporting people or goods. It has been a necessity for many companies, no matter how small or big they are, to have their own vehicles to use for business purposes. Buying commercial cars is a lot different from buying a family car.

Car manufacturers have produced different car types that can serve commercial purposes, if not specifically customized for business use. They all differ in size, capacity, and purpose. The most common of them are: trucks, semi-trailer trucks, coaches, vans, buses, taxicabs, and box trucks.

Trucks are designed to transfer cargo and are often combined with trailers. They vary greatly in size and often occupy large road space. Semi-trailer trucks -- colloquially known as "big rigs" -- are vehicles attached to tractors or towing engines. They also use trailers to carry freight.

Coaches are motor vehicles designed to carry passengers for long distance travel. They differ from buses because they have a luggage cabin separate from their passengers. They are used primarily for long trips. Buses are one of the most common public vehicles. They can carry a maximum number of 300 passengers. The single-decker bus is the most common type of bus.

Vans and box trucks are similar to each other. They serve the same purpose: transferring goods. There are two types of vans -- dry van and refrigerated van. Dry vans are commonly used in US states to carry goods. Refrigerated cars are used to carry perishable goods. Refrigerated vans/cars (or refrigerated containers) used for intermodal transport are called "reefers". Vans are sold either brand new or second hand in used car dealerships. Orange County and other counties and cities have high demand for these vans.

Taxicabs are also one of the more popular public transportation vehicles in California. Many cab companies buy sedan cars from used car dealerships. Orange County has many taxicab and shuttle services, especially in Anaheim where many tourist attractions are located.

Buying commercial vehicles has been made easy by used car dealerships. Orange County houses many car dealerships that offer companies quality second hand vehicles. Financing commercial vehicles sometimes depend on the financial standing of a company. However, commercial cars are a necessity for many big companies.
