Are Trolleybuses Motor Vehicles?
1 Answers
Trolleybuses are classified as motor vehicles. Introduction to Trolleybuses: A trolleybus is a road-based public transport vehicle that is typically powered by overhead wires and driven by electric motors, operating without reliance on fixed tracks. In some countries or regions (such as Japan), trolleybuses fall under the category of rail transit. Generally, a trolleybus will lose power if its current collectors detach from the overhead wires; however, dual-power trolleybuses equipped with power batteries, supercapacitors, or diesel generators can operate offline on sections without overhead contact lines. Definition of Motor Vehicle: Motor vehicles, abbreviated as "motor vehicles," are wheeled "vehicles" driven or pulled by their own power units, operating on land without the need for tracks. In China, they generally refer to vehicles used on roads for passenger transport, goods delivery, or specialized operations, excluding any vehicles operating on tracks.
