Motor close to exit after employee pushed vehicle (8)
I believe the answer is:
handcart
'pushed vehicle' is the definition.
(vehicle pushed by hand)
'motor close to exit after employee' is the wordplay.
'motor' becomes 'car' (I've seen this before).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'employee' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of employee).
The final letter of 'exit' is 't'.
'car'+'t'='cart'
'cart' after 'hand' is 'HANDCART'.
(Other definitions for handcart that I've seen before include "unpowered vehicle" , "Barrow pushed by person" , "can be moved around manually" , "Unpowered transporter" .)
