Heavy Commercial Vehicle
A Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) is a type of motor vehicle designed primarily for transporting goods and materials. These vehicles typically have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) exceeding 3.5 tons. Common examples of HCVs include trucks, buses, and vans that are used in various industries, such as construction and logistics.
HCVs are essential for the economy as they facilitate the movement of large quantities of products over long distances. They are equipped with powerful engines and robust structures to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for commercial use. Proper licensing and regulations govern their operation to ensure safety on the roads.
