What Does Lorry Mean?

The word lorry is defined as a motor truck. It is used for the transportation of goods from one place to another. Motor truck is an American term. The British synonym for the word motor truck, which is used in all the countries that use British English as an official language, is the phrase heavy goods vehicle. The British term heavy goods vehicle is defined as any vehicle that exceeds a maximum of seven-and-a-half metric tons in laden weight.

The word lorry is also used to define a large, low wagon that does not have any sides (in other words, it is open on all sides) and is drawn by horses. The word lorry, however, is more commonly used to define a large truck, which is open on all sides, which is designed to carry heavy loads. A lorry is also colloquially used to describe a trailer truck, which is basically a truck that combines a tractor and a trailer.
