Explanation:
The term is "autovivenda" (carta de ligeiros)

I.e., a vehicle for which a truck licence is not required, ie, you only need a B-type driver's licence: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1465&bih=766&ei=oQUtXeyiMc...

The term is "autovivenda".
The term is now not used officially any more: "Deixa de ser atribuída a veículos a motor a classificação "Autovivenda" por não corresponder atualmente a qualquer classificação europeia de veículos." https://dre.pt/home/-/dre/121075330/details/maximized
