Does a mixed-use vehicle fall within the definition of an automobile?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. According to General Vehicle Regulations, a mixed-use vehicle is, by definition, an automobile. For a vehicle to be considered an 'automobile', it must be a motor vehicle used for the transport of persons, goods, or both, or for towing other vehicles. The mixed-use vehicle meets these exact requirements: it is arranged for the transport, simultaneous or not, of goods and persons up to a maximum of 9 seats (including the driver), allowing cargo space to be replaced by passengers by adding seats. Therefore, although colloquially people often separate the concept of a 'car' (passenger car) and a 'van', technically both are automobiles.
