Wow, Bangers and Cash have bought a few London cabs and redesigned it as an electric taxi van.

Does it still have the taxi meter inside??

"The 2.9 tonne small van has a similar load capacity to a typical Royal Mail van"

So not big enough then!

Just get proper vans. With some form of shelving, baskets and ability to secure loads in place....like a professional delivery service would have.

shelving would make a huge difference in a van. I've often thought a small 'hammock' to cover the top half of the van could work to keep P739 items in.

Something on the lines of https://advantageoutfitters.com/vehicle/sprinter-van/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If Tracked and oversize get taken away you could have two walks worth, one either side with each loop being in a separate tray and perhaps a small caged bit in addition for SDs
