Best Answer

Commercial vehicles are defined as vehicles that are owned or registered to a company, instead of an individual. Additionally, heavy vehicles, vehicles used to carry hazardous substances, or vehicles able to carry more than 15 persons are also classified as 'commercial' even if privately owned. In order to drive a commercial vehicle, you need a commercial vehicle driver's licence. This imposes some extra responsibilities, such as informing your employer of certain convictions.

Why can't you buy or drive diesel cars in Greece?

There is legislation which makes the use of diesel-powered private vehicles illegal in the cities of Athens and Salonica. This legislation has been in force since many decades and is aimed towards reducing the damage caused to ancient monuments by the sooty (particulate rich) emmisions of diesel vehicles. Without doubt, modern diesels are much cleaner running than their predecessors, but the legislation remains in force today. The only diesel powereed vehicles allowed to circulate in the major city centres are ones used for "commercial" purposes i.e. Taxis & vans

Are used hybrids just as good as new ones?

This really depends on if you are buying a used vehicle from a private party or from a dealership. the advantage to buying a used car from a dealership, is that most dealerships, do an inspection, providing information about the vehicles shape and condition. While cost is the biggest difference in buying new or used hybrid vehicles, the other thought would be the options of warranties. There are some warranties on New vehicles, that are not offered through the used vhicles.
