Transport kirsch on a wide vehicle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rickshaw

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

'transport kirsch on a wide' is the wordplay.
'transport' is an anagram indicator (letters are transported elsewhere).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wide' becomes 'w' (abbreviation e.g. in cricket).
'kirsch' with letters rearranged gives 'ricksh'.
'ricksh'+'a'+'w'='RICKSHAW'

(Other definitions for rickshaw that I've seen before include "foreign conveyance" , "Human-powered taxi" , "Two-wheeled cart" , "Whack sir (anag.)" , "Asian two-wheeled transport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
