Correct answer
A motor vehicle coupled to a semi-trailer.
It is a motor vehicle coupled to a semi-trailer. A semi-trailer is designed so that part of it rests on the towing motor vehicle and transfers a substantial part of its mass to it. A motor vehicle coupled to a trailer forms a road train. Both categories are combinations of vehicles; a trailer’s weight alone does not make it a semi-trailer.
