Light commercial vehicle

Common card · No. 323272

A light commercial vehicle (LCV) in the European Union is a commercial vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of no more than 3.5 metric tons (tonnes) or no more than 4.5 tonnes in Australia and New Zealand. The LCV designation is also occasionally used in both Canada and Ireland (where the term commercial van is more commonly used). In the UK, light haulage is a restricted-weight delivery service where the maximum permitted gross vehicle weight rating without the need of an operator's license is also up to 3.5 tonnes. Usually light haulage excludes a distribution center as most deliveries are direct. A delivery may consist of a single, multiple or priority urgent load and can be either same-day or next-day delivery. The vehicle (as long as its gross vehicle weight doesn't exceed the 3.5 t limit) does not require a tachograph and can also be driven by people with a regular car license without the need for an operator's license. The speed restriction is higher than for heavy goods vehicles...
