Tries electronic vehicle (6)
I believe the answer is:
hearse
'vehicle' is the definition.
(hearse is a kind of vehicle)
'tries electronic' is the wordplay.
'tries' becomes 'hears' ('hear' can be a synonym of 'try').
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'hears'+'e'='HEARSE'
(Other definitions for hearse that I've seen before include "Vehicle for the last trip?" , "Vehicle for one's last journey" , "Funeral vehicle" , "Vehicle for carrying the dead" , "Car for carrying a coffin" .)
