add commentComments:
VPB is a "Vehicule Porte Benne" or pod carrier.

BSPP have several now in service, but also continue to operate an unusually large number of dedicated special purpose units.

I suspect one reason the service is slow to adopt this technology is that these units are often a bit too big for Paris' older narrow side streets, and smaller special purpose vans and trucks are more suitable...
