| Abstract from DBPedia | A commercial vehicle is any type of motor vehicle used for transporting goods or paying passengers. The United States defines a "commercial motor vehicle" as any self-propelled or towed vehicle used on a public highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle: 1. has a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more2. Is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation;3. Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, not used to transport passengers for compensation;4. Is used in transporting material found by the Secretary of Transportation to be hazardous. The federal definition though followed closely is meant to accommodate and remain flexible to each state's definitions. The European Union defines a "commercial motor vehicle" as any motorized road vehicle, that by its type of construction and equipment is designed for, and capable of transporting, whether for payment or not: 1. more than nine persons, including the driver;2. goods and "standard fuel tanks". This means the tanks permanently fixed by the manufacturer to all motor vehicles of the same type as the vehicle in question and whose permanent fitting lets fuel be used directly, both for propulsion and, where appropriate, to power a refrigeration system. Gas tanks fitted to motor vehicles for the direct use of diesel as a fuel are considered standard fuel tanks.商用車（しょうようしゃ 英: Commercial vehicle）とは、自動車のうち、主に貨物輸送や旅客輸送のために開発・生産される車両や、業務目的の特殊用途に対応した装備を施した車両を指す。いわゆる「働く車」のことで、商用車の対義語としては乗用車、事業用自動車の対義語には自家用自動車などがある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Commercial_vehicle) |
