A '''truck''' (or '''lorry''' in [[British English]]) is a motor [[vehicle]] used to [[transport]] [[cargo]], [[Product (consumer goods)|goods]], [[material]]s, or troops. The word "truck" comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word "''trochos''", which means "wheel". Most trucks use diesel fuel. Trucks have [[variation]]s in size, power, and configuration, with the smallest being mechanically similar to an [[automobile]]. Also, the road spreads the weight of the truck which means larger amounts can be carried than with [[train]]s (steam-powered, diesel-powered, electric-powered, or light rail) on [[railroad track]]s.
