Loader vehicles are pretty common in India. You can see them every day on Indian roads carrying goods, livestock, and even people (welcome to India!). But unless you are really into cars, it can be hard to tell the difference between the different types of loaders and commercial vehicles you see on the street.

If we look at these commercial vehicles from a very high level, we can divide them into the following groups:

Light-duty trucks and vans

Medium commercial vehicles

Heavy trucks and buses

We could go crazy and write a 3,000-word article just about medium and heavy commercial vehicles, but we won’t waste your time (at least not for now). We’re going to talk about the much more common and narrow category of light weight commercial vehicles and how many of them are on Indian roads right now.
