Cervantes's vehicle (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

van

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vehicle' is the definition.
(van is a kind of vehicle)

'cervantes's' is the wordplay.
'VAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for van that I've seen before include "Army front or business vehicle" , "sometimes seen beside dyke" , "Leading unit at the head of an army" , "Leading military units" , "Forefront, vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
