What kind of vehicle is used to transport small cars?
1 Answers
Transporting small cars is typically done using a car carrier semi-trailer. Here are some relevant details about semi-trailers: 1. Introduction: A semi-trailer is a type of trailer where the axles are positioned behind the vehicle's center of gravity, equipped with a coupling device that transfers both horizontal and vertical forces to the towing vehicle. It is a heavy-duty transport vehicle connected to the tractor unit via a kingpin. 2. Features: Compared to 'single-unit' vehicles, semi-trailers can significantly enhance the comprehensive economic benefits of road transport. Transport efficiency can be increased by 30-50%, costs reduced by 30-40%, and fuel consumption decreased by 20-30%. 3. Uses: Semi-trailers are primarily used to transport large, indivisible cargo, such as excavators. The flatbed type is more suitable for hauling perishable goods like vegetables and fruits, while the enclosed van type is better suited for bulk cargo and moisture-sensitive, high-value goods.
