In Britain, Ireland, Australia, India, Spain, Argentina, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, and Germany, the word " tractor " usually means " farm tractor ", and the use of the word " tractor " to mean other types of vehicles is familiar to the vehicle trade, but unfamiliar to much of the general public.

Most significantly, the LACE system is far heavier than a pure rocket engine having the same thrust ( air-breathing engines of almost all types have relatively poor thrust-to-weight ratios compared to rockets ), and the performance of launch vehicles of all types is particularly affected by increases in vehicle dry mass ( such as engines ) that must be carried all the way to orbit, as opposed to oxidizer mass that would be burnt off over the course of the flight.

The 6-wheeled ( 3-axle ) truck was designed to use a quick change modular system to utilize many types of equipment on the same base vehicle such as a guided missile launcher with a range, a launcher for a remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle, power distribution, lighting, etc.

To avoid listing to the side, turrets are usually located at the centre of the vehicle on vehicles that are capable of amphibious operations.

An example of the development of tank destroyer technology throughout the war are the Marder III and Hetzer vehicle, that were very different in spite of being based on the same chassis: Marder was straightforwardly an anti-tank gun on tracks whereas Hetzer traded some firepower ( its Pak 39, designed to operate within the confines of a fully-armored fighting compartment, fires the same projectiles from a reduced propellant charge compared to Marder's Pak 40 ) for better armor protection and ease of battlefield concealment.

Self-propelled howitzers are permanently mounted on a carriage or vehicle with room for the crew and ammunition and are thus capable of moving quickly from one firing position to another, both to support the fluid nature of modern combat and to avoid counter-battery fire.

There are also mortar carrier vehicles, many of which allow the mortar to be removed from the vehicle and be used dismounted, potentially in terrain in which the vehicle cannot navigate, or in order to avoid detection.

Additionally, vehicle sales are banned on Sunday in counties having a population of 130, 000 or more.

These investments are concentrated primarily in vehicle assembly and parts supply, the construction industry / cement, raw materials processing / aluminum and regional dairy farming.

Vehicular beacons are rotating or flashing lights affixed to the top of a vehicle to attract the attention of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

Incandescent and xenon light sources require the vehicle ’ s engine to continue running to ensure that the battery is not depleted when the lights are used for a prolonged period.

English texts on the right side of the vehicle are also quite commonly written in reverse order.

The elderly are at an increased risk of dependence and are more sensitive to the adverse effects such as memory problems, daytime sedation, impaired motor coordination, and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents and falls.

For example drive straps are now commonly employed to transfer torque as well as lift the pressure plate upon disengagement of vehicle drive.

There are different designs of vehicle clutch but most are based on one or more friction discs pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs.

The perplexing question still remains as to why the middle classes turn to the churches as a vehicle of social identity when their clubs and charities should fill the same need.

This classification is not absolute ; at different times different countries will classify the same vehicle in different roles.

Bel Geddes assumed that the automobile would be the same type of carrier and still the most common means of transportation in 1960, albeit with increased vehicle use and traffic lanes also capable of much higher speeds.

Allied military action to enforce the ceasefire commenced the same day when a French aircraft opened fire and destroyed a vehicle on the ground.

At the same time scenes of ordinary life with moral, political or satirical content became often the main vehicle for expressive interplay between figures in painting, whether given a modern or historical setting.

For instance, if a vehicle travels a certain distance at a speed x ( e. g. 60 kilometres per hour ) and then the same distance again at a speed y ( e. g. 40 kilometres per hour ), then its average speed is the harmonic mean of x and y ( 48 kilometres per hour ), and its total travel time is the same as if it had traveled the whole distance at that average speed.

However, if the vehicle travels for a certain amount of time at a speed x and then the same amount of time at a speed y, then its average speed is the arithmetic mean of x and y, which in the above example is 50 kilometres per hour.

It was the same R-7 launch vehicle that placed the first artificial satellite in space, Sputnik, on 4 October 1957.

The most widely-held theory is that the military designation of GP begat the term Jeep and holds that the vehicle bore the designation GP ( for Government Purposes or General Purpose ), which was phonetically slurred into the word jeep, in the same way that the contemporary HMMWV ( for High-Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle ) has become known as the humvee.

In several accounts, it was explained that the explosion of the planet Krypton had opened a " dimensional warp " ( similar to a wormhole in modern theoretical physics ) which allowed the vehicle carrying the young Kal-El to reach Earth in a relatively brief time, and a large amount of planetary debris had also passed through this " warp " and emerged near Earth at virtually the same time, accounting for the seemingly improbable abundance of kryptonite material and its availability to Superman's enemies.

It would then be necessary for any roving vehicle to be carried on the same Lunar Module as transporting the astronauts.

Inspired by a visit to Japan, Black & More ( Coldcut ) primarily created Ninja Tune in 1990 to act as a vehicle by which they could release music of a more underground nature, free from the restraints placed on artists by major labels ( the same restraints that were put on them via their brief stints with Arista and Big Life ).

In another model, for example used for routing automated guided vehicles ( AGVs ) on a terminal, reservations are made for each vehicle to prevent simultaneous use of the same part of an infrastructure.

However, as speeds rise, the resultant exhaust speed goes down, and the overall vehicle energetic efficiency rises, reaching a peak of around 100 % of the engine efficiency when the vehicle is travelling exactly at the same speed that the exhaust is emitted.

( Enterprise, the test vehicle which was the prototype for Columbia, originally had the same wing markings as Columbia but with the letters " USA " on the right wing spaced closer together ; Enterprises markings were modified to match Challenger in 1983.
