Difference between a tractor and a trailer

Different characteristics

1. Tractor features:

(1) Anti-skid: Prevent the driving wheel from idling when driving on wet and slippery roads such as snow, so that the vehicle starts and accelerates smoothly. Especially on snowy or muddy roads, the traction control system can ensure smooth acceleration of the vehicle and prevent the vehicle from swaying or rear-end collision due to slippage of the drive wheels.

(2) Flexibility: When towing the vehicle, the train has better mobility and flexibility.

(3) Reliable work: ensure reliable, convenient and fast connection between the tractor and the trailer.

(4) Stable: The traction force can be smoothly transmitted to the trailer, which has a certain buffering effect on the impact load.

2. Characteristics of semi-trailers: Compared with "mono-type" vehicles, semi-trailers can improve the comprehensive economic benefits of road transportation. The transportation efficiency can be increased by 30-50%, the cost can be reduced by 30-40%, and the fuel consumption can be reduced by 20-30%. More importantly, the use of semi-trailers can also play a certain role in promoting the organizational form of China's logistics.

Different uses

1. Tractor use: It is often used for the transportation of large quantities of goods within or between workshops, such as the transportation from automobile manufacturing warehouses to assembly lines, and luggage transportation at airports.

2. Use of semi-trailer: Semi-trailer is the main transportation volume, and it is not easy to divide large goods, such as excavators, etc. The fence type is more suitable for fresh goods, such as vegetables and fruits. Semi-trailers are more suitable for towing bulk cargo and moisture-proof more valuable cargo.
