About: Steam wagon

An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A steam wagon (or steam lorry, steam waggon or steamtruck) is a steam-powered truck for carrying freight. It was the earliest form of lorry (truck) and came in two basic forms: overtype and undertype, the distinction being the position of the engine relative to the boiler. Manufacturers tended to concentrate on one form or the other. Although the majority of steam wagons have been scrapped, a significant number have been preserved in working order and may be seen in operation at steam fairs, particularly in the UK.

  • A steam wagon (or steam lorry, steam waggon or steamtruck) is a steam-powered truck for carrying freight. It was the earliest form of lorry (truck) and came in two basic forms: overtype and undertype, the distinction being the position of the engine relative to the boiler. Manufacturers tended to concentrate on one form or the other. Steam wagons were a widespread form of powered road traction for commercial haulage in the early part of the twentieth century, although they were a largely British phenomenon, with few manufacturers outside Great Britain. Competition from internal-combustion-powered vehicles and adverse legislation meant that few remained in commercial use beyond the Second World War. Although the majority of steam wagons have been scrapped, a significant number have been preserved in working order and may be seen in operation at steam fairs, particularly in the UK. (en)
  • Il carro a vapore (o meglio autocarro a vapore, inglese: steam waggon, steam lorry o steamtruck) era un veicolo stradale per trasporti di merci, azionato da un motore a vapore, utilizzato dalla metà del XIX secolo e sino alla metà del XX secolo e diffuso prevalentemente in Inghilterra, dove si concentrava il maggiore numero di costruttori, ma con qualche utilizzo anche in altri paesi limitrofi.

  • Парова вантажівка — паровий автомобіль для перевезення вантажів. Ця, найраніша форма вантажівки поділяється на два основних типи: «Overtype» (зовнішнього типу) і «Undertype» (внутрішнього типу) — відмінність полягає в розташуванні двигуна відносно котла. Виробники були схильні концентруватися на одній або іншій формі. (uk)

Эта, самая ранняя форма грузовика, делится на два основных типа: «Overtype» (внешнего типа) и «Undertype» (внутреннего типа) — различие состоит в расположении двигателя относительно котла. Производители были склонны концентрироваться на одной или другой форме. (ru)
