Spanish term

Vehículos profesionales

Spanish to English Other Automotive / Cars & Trucks
I'm not sure if this is referring to 'commercial vehicles' (i.e. vans) or company/executive cars, or both of these. Does anybody have any ideas?

It's for a car + van hire company - here's the full paragraph:

Vehículos profesionales
Ponemos a tu disposición vehículos de las marcas más punteras del mercado. Una práctica gama que te ofrece potencia, fiabilidad y seguridad para que todo funcione como la seda.

Thanks!

Although that link now makes me think that it also can include cars!

Thanks, I'll try and check with them tomorrow. My issue with using 'commercial vehicles' is that (in the UK at least) this would refer just to vans, not cars as well, and I wasn't sure that the Spanish was only referring to vans here. However from the examples I've found on Google for 'vehiculo profesional' it looks like 'commercial vehicle' would fit the bill...
Helena Chavarria Jan 20, 2017:
If the original heading is 'Vehículos profesionales', why change it?

I understand it to mean vehicles used for professional purposes, whether it's a van used for carrying equipment or a car someone hires on a business trip.

From my own Googling, it can be a synonym for commercial vehicles, or it can also include fleet cars - here, for example: http://www.lainformacion.com/economia-negocios-y-finanzas/mo...
I'd check with the customer, assuming the term isn't clarified elsewhere in the text.
