Merge the insert profile and design
A panel van with interior fittings often makes sense for trades and service. A double cabin can be suitable for team transport. For heavy open loads, flatbeds or tippers are the obvious choice. A chassis is the right basis for special bodies.
The best design is the one that shortens daily commutes, makes loading processes easier and reduces wear and tear. This is more important than a single equipment request.

|---|---|---|
| Craft/Service | panel van | Shelves, loading floor, doors, electricity |
| Team plus material | Double cabin | Seats, payload, cargo space |
| Construction/horticulture | flatbed or tipper truck | Frame, hydraulics, corrosion |
| Special transport | Chassis/case | Structure, axle load, documentation |
| Passenger transport | Station wagon/tourer | Seats, interior, climate |
