A truck is a type of commercial vehicle primarily used for transporting goods-also known as a cargo vehicle. Typically classified into heavy-duty and light-duty categories based on their load capacity, these vehicles are predominantly powered by diesel engines. In 2024, nationwide sales of light-duty trucks reached 1.8945 million units.
Also referred to as a cargo vehicle, the truck's core function is the transportation of goods, placing it within the category of commercial vehicles. Its design is primarily focused on meeting cargo-carrying requirements, although certain variants (such as tow trucks) are capable of towing other vehicles. Compared to passenger vehicles, trucks prioritize load-bearing capacity, durability, and power performance; consequently, they are widely utilized across sectors such as logistics, construction, and agriculture.
