multifunctional breakdown vehicle Explanation: Polyvalent means: multifunctional, versatile, multi-purpose. My suggestion would be: a multifunctional breakdown vehicle. See example from the Belgian VAB site: VAB has greatly diversified its activities in recent years, to include: • Roadside breakdown and rescue service are on stand-by day and night to help stranded drivers in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. If the vehicle cannot be repaired immediately at the roadside, it and its occupants will be driven home or to a garage by one of VAB’s multifunctional breakdown vehicles. -> http://www.thinkingsolutions.be/pdfs/CaseVAB.pdf Reference: http://www.thinkingsolutions.be/pdfs/CaseVAB.pdf Reference: http://europa.eu.int/eurodicautom/Controller |
