In the history of motorized vehicles, vans have been around since almost the beginnings, serving primarily as business vehicles used for delivery. But one could argue that the concept of a van (a vehicle used to haul a large amount of goods) and even a conversion van (a vehicle primarily known as a delivery mode but used for a different purpose) has been around even longer.
When one considers its purpose and usage, a horse-drawn caravan isn’t that far from the concept of a conversion van. Once a familiar mode of transportation and conveyance in Europe, and later America, the horse-drawn caravan bears a striking similarity to today’s vans. |
