Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles

A car is a wheeled motor vehicle for transporting passengers which carries its own engine or motor. As of 2002, there were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people).

A truck is a vehicle for carrying goods and materials. In North America, the big wheels of wagons were called trucks. When the gasoline-engine driven trucks came into fashion, these were called "motor trucks." In the United States a commercial driver's license is required to drive any type of vehicle weighing more than 26,001 lb.

A motorcycle is a single-track, two-wheeled motor vehicle powered by an engine. Styles of motorcycles vary depending on the task for which they are designed, such as long distance travel, navigating congested urban traffic, cruising, sport and racing, or off-road conditions. In many parts of the world, motorcycles are among the least expensive and most widespread forms of motorised transport.
