European PT. How to distinguish "vans" from "furgões" when they appear in the same sentence?
"No segmento dos Ligeiros de Mercadorias, composto por vans, furgões, pick-ups e chassis-cabine até 3,5t, o mercado ascendeu a 39.306 viaturas, representando um aumento de 2,0% relativamente ao ano anterior."
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
