A commercial vehicle is a type of motor vehicle that may be used for transporting goods or passengers.

The European Union defines "commercial motor vehicle" as any motorised road vehicle, which by its type of construction and equipment is designed for, and capable of transporting, whether for payment or not:

1. not more than nine persons, including the driver;
2. goods and "standard fuel tanks" means the tanks permanently fixed by the manufacturer to all motor vehicles of the same type as the vehicle in question and whose permanent fitting enables fuel to be used directly, both for the purposes of propulsion and, where appropriate, for the operation of a refrigeration system; and gas tanks fitted to motor vehicles designed for the direct use of gas as a fuel are considered to be standard fuel tanks.

(EC Council Directive 68/297, substituted by EC Council Directive 85/347).
