Commercial Delivery Vans Australia

Commercial delivery Vans are unique to the user,most van owners have usability as their number one priority when choosing a delivery van.

The delivery van has for decades been the domain of Japanese manufacturers but the swing is now towards European  brands,  usually for commercial use.

Size, comfort and basic usability is important  for commercial van owners. For fleet owners price and value for money heads the list.

The history of commercial delivery vans have gone well before the current  makes and models.

The eighties and nineties where dominated with Toyota and Nissan vans. Models like the Hi Ace, lite Ace in Toyota vans and in Nissan  the E20 LWB was popular prior to that Ford dominated with the Ford Transit and VW combi a 60s &70′s icon for van users. The fifties and sixties had the likes of Bedford vans and British makes.

This era too right through to the eighties  saw the humble car van cross boom with the panel van. Manufacturers of these vans developed a whole new youth market  and aimed the commercial panel van to wards the independent lifestyles of the youth of the day. Vans like the Valiant denim machine, the Holden Sandman became the  jewel in the crown of vans to have.

Alas that part of life has gone and now the commercial delivery van is just that. A van to deliver goods in.

Practical comfortable and designed to give maximum use  for minimal expenditure.

Hope this site on  delivery vans helps in your choice.
