Light commercial vehicle

[1] 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 the majority of deliveries are direct.

Many franchised dealers also retail used LCVs, with the poorer quality examples sent to specialist auctions for sale.

LCV dealers are increasingly using the Internet to help sell their vehicles in addition to the traditional print media.
