Vehicle over in production for non-vegetarian (9)

I believe the answer is:

carnivore

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

'vegetarian' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'vehicle over in production' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'production' indicates an anagram.
'over'+'in'='overin'
'overin' is an anagram of 'nivore'.
'car'+'nivore'='CARNIVORE'

'for non' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
