Copied from the H.T.A. (Highway Traffic Act)

“commercial motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle having permanently attached thereto a truck or delivery body and includes ambulances, hearses, casket wagons, fire apparatus, buses and tractors used for hauling purposes on the highways; (“véhicule utilitaire”)


"Truck" includes motor vehicles such as pickup trucks, mini vans and two and four wheel drive sport utility vehicles being used to transport cargo with the vehicle's seats removed, regardless of how the vehicle is plated, e.g. car or truck, including farm truck plates.

It does not include passenger car/vans that still have all their seats installed.

As such, all Commercial vehicles have black lettered plates.
