A crew van, also known as a crew-cab van, is a specialized type of commercial vehicle designed to accommodate both cargo and passengers simultaneously. It combines the functionality of a cargo van with the seating capacity of a multi-passenger vehicle. Crew vans typically have a partition that separates the cargo area from the passenger compartment, allowing for the safe transportation of both people and goods. The rear cargo space is fitted with additional seating, often in the form of bench seats, to accommodate several passengers comfortably. This configuration makes crew vans a preferred choice for businesses that require both transportation of crew members and the delivery of goods or equipment. They are commonly used by construction companies, utility providers, and other industries that need to transport a crew of workers and their tools or materials to various job sites efficiently. Crew vans provide the convenience of carrying both people and cargo in a single vehicle, saving time and resources.
