What is the vehicle that transports small cars called?
2 Answers
The vehicle that transports small cars is called a specialized car carrier. The following are the functions of specialized car carriers: 1. Improve automobile transportation efficiency: Specialized vehicles can fully utilize the transportation capacity of automobiles, increase the actual load rate, reduce storage costs, lower transportation costs, and achieve optimal economic benefits. 2. Specialized vehicles can ensure the quality of cargo transportation and reduce cargo discrepancies and damages: With the continuous increase in the volume and types of cargo, as well as differences in the nature, physical characteristics, and physical state of the cargo, using ordinary trucks for transportation may result in some cargo rotting or deteriorating during transportation, while other cargo may be easily damaged or lost during loading and unloading. Avoiding waste and quantity shortages has promoted the development of specialized vehicles.
I remember seeing those big trucks carrying small cars on the highway. They are specialized vehicles for transporting small passenger cars, called car carriers or auto haulers. Typically, a large truck pulls a flatbed trailer that can carry several small cars secured on racks to prevent movement. I often encounter them during road trips, transporting new cars to dealerships or assisting with relocations. These vehicles are extra-long and extra-wide, so it's important to maintain a safe distance when driving near them, especially at night when their taillights should be clearly visible for safety. A friend who works in the automotive industry mentioned that these carriers are highly efficient when pulled by large trucks, saving much more fuel and money compared to transporting cars individually. Overall, understanding these vehicles is very helpful for everyday driving to avoid rear-end collisions or misunderstandings about their purpose.
