Spanish term

Suburvan

Spanish to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping Types of vehicle
PANAMA. This term appears in a list of vehicle types. At first I thought it might be a typo for 'suburban' (there are other typos in the list, such as 'hathcback' or 'camnión') and assumed that it would mean an SUV, however SUV appears further down the list.

"30 - Van
31 - Trailer
32 - Semi Trailer
33 - Suburvan
34 - Vagon
35 - Vagoneta"

Ok. I have used "Minivan" myself for general consumer surveys, but if you have "Minivan" already.... Then SuburVan (if it is a trademark/registered model). Cheers!
neilmac (asker) Jun 20, 2023:
@abe(L)solano "Minivans" already appears as another heading further down the list.

Sakshi, there are 72.900 Google hits for
"SuburVAN".
Please post
Apparently it might be a trade mark, keep the italics.
If you do, you have my vote.
abe(L)solano Jun 19, 2023:
And it's on the LinkedIn link that Sakshi gave first

Here are some links showing suburvans. They seem to be called SUV Suburvans and these companies use them for ferrying around larger numbers of passengers and their luggage.

Here’s one on a Costa Rican website

They’re not something we would see every day here in Scotland!

un neologismo a todas luces que cambia la B por una V por razones evidentes. Original concept would be some "suburban van".
Hernan Casasbuenas Jun 19, 2023:
I think you are right Sakshi Neil, please look at this https://www.suburvan.com/EN.html
Sakshi, please post your translation.

An [sic] autonomous electric minivans for convenient transport in urban areas
Note from asker:
Interesting, thanks. The end client the software has been developed for will know what it refers to anyway, so I'll probably just leave it as is. It did look like a typical b/v typo though...
