What is a Van?

A van, also known as a van truck, is a light-duty truck, typically under 2 tons, with a cargo area integrated with the driver’s cabin. Vans are compact, allowing for agile movement within urban areas, especially in narrow, crowded streets like those in Hanoi’s Old Quarter or the tight lanes of Hoan Kiem District.
