 * I’ve fixed it like so, but I don’t think it’s a good approach.
 *     ```
       $query = $wp_query->query_vars;
   
       $query['post_type'] = 'vehicle';
   
       $loop = new WP_Query($query);
       I don't know if it is the right approach but it works for me.
       ```
   
 * Let me know, what do you think.
