Vehicle Type Definitions
According to IOCA
Organisation Internationale des
Constructeurs d'Automobiles
- Passenger cars are motor vehicles with at least four
wheels, used for the transport of passengers,
and comprising no more than eight seats in addition
to the driver's seat.
- Light commercial vehicles are motor vehicles with at
least four wheels, used for the carriage of
goods. Mass given in tons (metric tons) is used as a
limit between light commercial vehicles and
heavy trucks. This limit depends on national and
professional definitions and varies between
3.5 and 7 tons. Minibuses, derived from light
commercial vehicles, are used for the transport of
passengers, comprising more than eight seats in
addition to the driver's seat and having a
maximum mass between 3.5 and 7 tons.
- Heavy trucks are vehicles intended for the carriage
of goods. Maximum authorized mass is over
the limit (ranging from 3.5 to 7 tons) of light
commercial vehicles. They include tractor vehicles
designed for towing semi-trailers.
- Buses and coaches are used for the transport of
passengers, comprising more than eight seats in
addition to the driver's seat, and having a maximum
mass over the limit (ranging from 3.5 to
