Vehicles include wagons, bicycles, motor vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, mobility scooters), railed vehicles (trains, trams), watercraft (ships, boats, underwater vehicles), amphibious vehicles (screw-propelled vehicles, hovercraft), aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, aerostats), and spacecraft.[2]
Ground vehicles can be broadly classified by the type of contact with the ground: wheels, tracks, rails, or skis. ISO 3833-1977 is the international standard for road vehicle types, terms, and definitions.[3]
