MFZ Mehrzweckfahrzeuge

My comment:

The qustion is realted to Transport safety which is an important factor here and determines that we are talking about a MFZ

Als Mehrzweckfahrzeug (abgekürzt MZF) wird meist ein Rettungswagen bezeichnet, der je nach Bedarf auch als Krankentransportwagen oder als Notarztwagen eingesetzt werden kann. Die Entscheidung über die jeweilige Einsatzart wird in der Leitstelle getroffen.

Nutzfahrzeug

My comment:

I guess the word "Nutz-" would imply multi-purpose use.

Nö, Das ist word-by-word Übersetzung. Im Deutschen heißen die Dinger nun mal "Nutzfahrzeuge", z.B. http://www.daimlerchrysler.com http://www.volkswagen.de

Irina's comments are correct, so, as the previous answerer said, it should be Nutzfahrzeug. Combiwagen is estate car and not as versatile as a multi-purpose vehicle.

"Nutzfahrzeug" hat im Deutschen den Geschmack von LKW, Traktor, Kipper ect. siehe auch nochmals die folgende Erklärung: MPV is short for Multi Purpose Vehicle. The term is popular in Europe and elsewhere but not generally used within North America; minivan is the nearest equivalent. An MPV is a passenger carrying vehicle based on a car platform, and is generally a one box design - neither a distinct bonnet (US: hood) nor boot (US: trunk), but rather a maximised interior space. MPVs generally have a flat floor and removable seats except for the front row, and give great flexibility of seating arrangements and c en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_Purpose_Vehicle; eine andere Variante wäre "Van" oder "Mini-Van", damit ist aber eine deutliche Einschränkung gegeben.
