Hi Phandung,
�van � is in British English whereas �truck � is American.
On another hand a �van � is smaller than a �lorry � and bigger than a car.
Have a good Sunday. |

Hi dear friend!
A van is neither a car nor a truck. A van is bigger than a car, more spacious and the shape may be different. A truck is very big, it can be used to carry stuff from one place to another and it doesn �t have to be so comfortable or spacious for the occupants because its not aimed at travelling for pleasure or at being used in our everyday lives. Hope it helps. A hug! |

A van is a small truck/lorry. I speak British English and although I use lorry more, I also use truck. |

A van is closed in. We usually mean family vans, small delivery vans or work vans (eg: electrician �s van) , but we call a large closed in truck for all your furniture when you move house a �moving van �.
