Trackless train
A trackless train — or tram (U.S. English), road train, land train, parking lot tram, Dotto train or Choo-Choo train — is a road-going articulated vehicle used for the transport of passengers, comprising a driving vehicle pulling one or more carriages connected by drawbar couplings, in the manner of a road-going railway train.
Similar vehicles may be used for transport of freight or baggage for short distances, such as at a factory or airport.
==Terminology==
''Trackless train'' or ''land train'' are descriptive terms for the rubber tired road-going vehicles to distinguish them from rail mounted trains. The ''Tschu-Tschu train'' and ''Dotto train'' names stems from genericized trademarks of trackless train manufacturers,〔(Eastbourne's Dotto Train web page ), accessed 17 September 2008〕〔(South West Trains website, information page for connections to Isle of Wight Zoo )〕〔(Road Trains Tschu-Tschu - Company Information )〕〔(West Cork Model Railway Village Tschu Tschu )〕 although Deltrain and The Railroad Factory also are manufacturers. ''Parking lot tram'' is a common name in the US, reflecting its use in parking lot transport.
The lack of a widely accepted generic name for trackless trains often leads to them being called trams, people movers or road trains. Due to cultural terminology differences, ''trackless train'', ''tram'' and ''parking lot tram'' usages occur in North America, while ''land train'', ''road train'', ''Tschu-Tschu train'' and ''Dotto train'' are used in Europe.
