Name just one vehicle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ivan

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

'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'one vehicle' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'vehicle' becomes 'van' (type of vehicle).
'i'+'van'='IVAN'

'just' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ivan that I've seen before include "in Russian history" , "Russian, say" , "First Russian tsar, 1547-84" , "Russian boy's name" , "'Terrible' emperor of Russia" .)
