Tips

usage
Two flavours: (1) personal — an official's or executive's reserved car (often slightly politically loaded in news, suggesting privilege); (2) functional — a vehicle built or assigned for one mission, e.g. 救护专用车 (ambulance), 邮政专用车 (mail van), 油罐专用车 (tanker truck).
memory
(zhuān, exclusive / dedicated) + (yòng, use) + (chē, vehicle) — 'exclusive-use vehicle'. Same 专用 shows up in 专用通道 'dedicated lane', 专用号码 'dedicated number'.
