panel van

Windowless delivery truck

A panel van is a cargo vehicle with enclosed sides and no rear or side windows behind the cab.

The name comes from the solid panels replacing windows, creating a private, weather-protected cargo area.

Panel vans are workhorses for delivery services and tradespeople: The electrician pulled up in a white panel van.

Their windowless design also gives them a sinister reputation in jokes and warnings about strangers.
