Yellow 7 Delivery Truck (LEGO Alternative Bricks)

​A truck is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo, perform specialized tasks, or carry specific payloads. They vary significantly in size, power, and configuration, ranging from small utility vehicles to large commercial trucks. Most trucks feature a body-on-frame construction, with the cab separate from the payload area. Smaller trucks may share mechanical similarities with automobiles, while larger ones are built for heavy-duty tasks and can be equipped with specialized equipment such as dump beds, concrete mixers, or firefighting apparatus. ​

The term “truck” is commonly used in American English, whereas “lorry” is the equivalent term in British English. The word “truck” originated in 1611, initially referring to the small strong wheels on ships’ cannon carriages, and comes from the Greek word “Trokhos,” meaning “wheel.” Over time, it evolved to describe carts for carrying heavy loads and eventually motor-powered load carriers by the 20th century. ​
