Usage Note

Furgón refers to a large enclosed van or a railway goods wagon. In everyday speech a smaller delivery or passenger van is more often called furgoneta (the diminutive). The plural furgones drops the written accent because the stress falls on the penultimate syllable once the -es is added: furgones.

Examples

"El furgón de reparto llegó con el pedido."

The delivery van arrived with the order.
