Truck
A truck is a vehicle usually used for transporting bulk goods, materials, or equipment. The word "truck" comes from the Greek "trochos", meaning "wheel". In
America, the big wheels of wagons were called trucks. When the gasoline-engine driven trucks came into fashion, these were called "motor trucks" and the
Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV)). Lorry is a British term but is only used for the medium and heavy types (see below), i.e. a
van, a
pickup or a
SUV would never be regarded as a "lorry". Other languages have
loanwords based on these terms, such as the
Malay lori and the
Mexican Spanish troca (or
pickup in northern
Mexico).
