Two Axle Lorry
This isn't based on any particular model but rather is based on a generic type of vehicle. This is a non-articulated commercial lorry/truck with one axle in the rear. "Non-articulated" means that it doesn't bend when it turns. It's also much larger than any van.
A lorry/truck with two axles in the rear would be capable of transporting much heavier loads, and may or may not have a longer box section. Lorries/Trucks larger than that would typically be articulated. (See Wikipedia - Articulated Vehicle, Semi-Trailer Truck)
Triferus: In my research, it appears that the front drive wheels are not counted when referring to the axle count on a lorry/truck, only the rear axles. I found far more web search results related to this vehicle by searching for "single-axle box truck" than anything else. Search results for just "single-axle truck" had the correct number of axles but had all sorts of things like dump trucks, tankers, etc. "Two-axle" trucks/lorries have two axles on the rear. "Tandem-axle" trucks/lorries have two or more axles in the rear. "Box" refers to the box on the back. Thus it would probably be more accurate to call this a "One-Axle Box Lorry" or "One-Axle Lorry".
