The panel van is characterized by its simple and boxy design, with no side windows in the rear passenger area. Instead of providing seating for passengers, the interior is primarily an open cargo space, making it ideal for transporting goods, equipment, and tools. This stripped-down design allows for maximum storage capacity and versatility, making it a popular choice for businesses and tradespeople. The absence of rear windows in the panel van also provides added security for the cargo, making it suitable for carrying valuable items or sensitive materials. Some panel van variants may have a single window in the front passenger door or a small window in the driver’s side for improved visibility.
