A Luton van is a type of commercial vehicle characterized by a distinctive box-shaped body that extends over the driver’s cabin, providing additional storage space. It is named after the town of Luton in England, where this design originated. Luton vans are known for their spaciousness and ability to handle large volumes of cargo. The additional storage area above the driver’s cabin is typically enclosed, offering weatherproofing and security for valuable or delicate items. This feature of a Luton van makes it ideal for transporting furniture, household goods, and other bulky items that require protection during transit. The accessibility of the cargo area is facilitated by rear doors, as well as a wide sliding side door for easy loading and unloading. Luton vans are commonly used by moving companies and businesses that require a reliable and spacious vehicle for transporting goods efficiently and securely.
