With the development of economy, the variety and quantity of special purpose vehicles are increasing. There are more than 500 kinds of special purpose vehicles in common use, and there are more than 1000 kinds of special purpose vehicles in developed countries. Special purpose vehicles can be divided into general special purpose vehicles and industrial and mining production vehicles.
Special vehicle function
1. Special vehicles can improve transportation efficiency and reduce transportation costs; Special purpose vehicles can give full play to the transport capacity of vehicles, improve the actual loading rate, reduce storage costs and transport costs, and achieve the best economic benefits.
2. Special vehicles can ensure the quality of goods transportation and reduce the difference and damage of goods; With the increasing number and variety of goods, as well as the differences in the nature, physical characteristics and physical state of goods, ordinary trucks are used for transportation. Some goods may rot and deteriorate during transportation, and some goods are easily damaged and lost during transportation.
Owners hope to maintain the quality and use value of goods during transportation, avoid waste and shortage of quantity, and thus promote the development of special purpose vehicles.
3. Special purpose vehicles can save packaging, shorten loading time and reduce labor loss; Special purpose vehicle transportation can reduce the packaging procedures of goods, thus saving packaging materials and labor.
According to statistics, compared with ordinary trucks transporting bagged cement, special trucks for bulk cement not only save packaging time, but also save about 6 kilograms of wrapping paper per ton of cement. The high mechanization of special purpose vehicle loading can reduce labor consumption, shorten the time of loading and unloading goods and improve transportation efficiency.

Special vehicle classification
With the development of economy, the variety and quantity of special purpose vehicles are increasing. There are more than 500 kinds of special purpose vehicles in common use, and there are more than 1000 kinds of special purpose vehicles in developed countries. Special purpose vehicles can be divided into general special purpose vehicles and industrial and mining production vehicles.
General-purpose vehicle: a vehicle modified from a road truck and used for transportation and various operations. The carriages of general-purpose vehicles used for transportation include van, tank, dumper, warehouse, grille and truss, which can transport goods with different properties, conditions and requirements, such as liquid, gaseous and bulk powdery or granular solid goods; Livestock, poultry, fresh fish and other animals;
Goods that need to be kept warm, fresh and refrigerated; Toxic, flammable and explosive dangerous goods. In countries with large automobile production, there are also special transport vehicles with double compartments, which are used to transport 8 ~ 10 cars.
Another kind of general-purpose vehicles are engaged in specialized operations: in order to achieve different purposes, such vehicles are equipped with corresponding operating equipment on the chassis, such as sales vehicles, garbage trucks, sweepers, sprinklers, environmental monitoring vehicles, cement mixers, truck cranes, power station locomotives, emergency repair vehicles, exploration vehicles, reservoir fracturing vehicles, scientific investigation vehicles, police cars, fire engines, aircraft tractors, etc.
Refueling vehicle, charging vehicle, air compressor vehicle, ambulance, medical equipment vehicle, book vehicle, TV relay vehicle, stage car, crane, postal communication vehicle, snow removal vehicle, etc.
