That much should be obvious.

it is a commercial vehicle.

I don't think the definition of "commercial" can legitimately be stretched
that far.

Welll, in the sense that a bus, truck or van is a commercial vehicle (no

Actually I was thinking "government non military", so the correct word
for what I was thinking is "civilian". ("commercial" refers to private
enterprise).
