What are Special Vehicles?
2 Answers
Special vehicles refer to those that exceed the designed vehicle limits in terms of external dimensions, weight, etc., as well as vehicles for special purposes. They are motor vehicles that are specially manufactured or modified, equipped with fixed devices, and whose primary function is not for transporting people or goods. Introduction to Trucks: Trucks, generally referred to as lorries or trucks, are mainly used for transporting goods. Sometimes, they also refer to vehicles that can tow other vehicles, falling under the category of commercial vehicles. They can generally be classified into heavy-duty and light-duty based on their weight. Most trucks use diesel engines as their power source, but some light-duty trucks use gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, or natural gas. Introduction to License Plates: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.
I've been driving for over twenty years. Special vehicles are those with unique functions or purposes, commonly including ambulances, fire trucks, or engineering rescue vehicles. Ambulances usually bear the Red Cross symbol and flashing lights, sounding sirens to warn everyone to give way in emergencies; fire trucks, with their red bodies, are equipped with ladders, water pumps, and spray systems to meet firefighting needs; engineering rescue vehicles like tow trucks or road rollers often appear at highway accident scenes to handle vehicle breakdowns or road maintenance. These vehicles have special license plates at the DMV and enjoy road priority, requiring ordinary vehicles to yield to ensure public safety. When I was younger and driving long distances, my vehicle broke down during a heavy rainstorm, and a special rescue tow truck arrived quickly to tow it away, solving the problem—I was truly grateful. Their designs are all focused on specific tasks to enhance social convenience and emergency efficiency.
