You have a point. But lately where I live I'm seeing more often tradespeople and delivery in tiny electric vans. I think these vehicles could have been given a special discount at least in the beginning.

When I used to live there as a tradie, certain trades could get away with the Ford transits and stuff, plumbers electricians etc. It seemed welders, masons, tile/tub people likely can't.

But necessity is the mother of invention.

yeah. sometimes you just need an 8ft bed. I'd love to see the tiny Japanese trucks, but they don't meet American safety standards (for better or worse).
