heavy goods vehicles

Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are large trucks designed to transport substantial quantities of cargo over long distances. They typically weigh over 3.5 tonnes and include lorries, freight trucks, and articulated vehicles. HGVs are essential for supply chains, moving everything from raw materials to finished products. They have powerful engines, large cargo areas, and specialized features to handle heavy and bulky loads efficiently. Due to their size and weight, they require specific driving skills and regulatory compliance to ensure safety on roads. They play a vital role in commerce but also impact traffic flow and infrastructure.
