Vehicle Type

This page groups every vehicle in the atlas by the kind of vehicle it is, from automobiles and aircraft to ships and locomotives. A vehicle is a machine designed for self-propulsion, usually to transport people, cargo, or both, and land vehicles are grouped further by their means of contact with the ground, such as wheels, tracks or rails.
