combined / combination vehicle (vs articulated vehicle) Explanation: Frankly this is just a way of finding another expression for the same thing, since I think a "conjunto de vehículos" is an articulated vehicle. See this definition in a memorandum from the Colombian Ministry of Transport on driving instruction: "El artículo 11 del Acuerdo 051 de 1993 exige para sexta (6ª) categoría impartir instrucción en vehículos articulados; la definición que traía el artículo 2, modificado por el Decreto 1809 de 1990 del Decreto 1344 dd 1970 es la siguiente: Conjunto de vehículos integrado por una unidad tractora y un semirremolque o uno o más remolques." https://www.mintransporte.gov.co/descargar.php?idFile=2981 This is from a Colombian Police driving instruction manual: " Ancho del carril para vehículos articulados con eje del semirremolque rígido y conjuntos con remolque de un sólo eje: de 3,50 a 4,50 metros. Ancho del carril para vehículos articulados con eje del semirremolque autodireccionable: de 3,50 a 4,50 metros. Ancho del carril conjunto de vehículo rígido y remolque con eje delantero móvil: 7 metros." http://www.policia.edu.co/documentos/normatividad_2016/manua... As far as I can see a vehículo articulado is a conjunto de vehículos, though there may be conjuntos de vehículos that are not technically vehículos articulados; it's very difficult to tell. It seems to me, though, that if restriction 06 applies to you (No puede conducir conjuntos de vehiculos), you can't drive articulated vehicles, so maybe that's not the licence category in this case. Anyway, the expression "combined vehicle" or "combination vehicle does exist, and I think you might use it for "conjunto de vehículos", just to have a different term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_combination_vehicle "Whereas the weight per driving axle of five or six-axle combined vehicles should be fixed as soon as possible" "Considerando que es conveniente fijar lo antes posible el peso por eje motor de los conjuntos de vehículos de 5 ó 6 ejes" https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN-ES/TXT/?uri=CELEX... |

| Reference: Truck platooning Reference information: This is the thing I mentioned in the Discussion. A number of trucks equipped with state-of-the-art driving support systems – one closely following the other. But AFAIK it's not up and running yet in the EU. Don't know about elsewhere. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2018-07-23 18:07:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/truck-platooning-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2018-07-23 18:08:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.cips.org/supply-management/news/2017/august/truc... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2018-07-23 18:10:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- “We have some of the busiest motorways in Europe … platooning may work on the miles of deserted freeways in Arizona or Nevada but this is not America,”... https://www.eutruckplatooning.com/About/default.aspx |
