lorries
Heavy goods vehicles
Lorries is the plural of lorry, the British term for a large motor vehicle designed to transport goods—what Americans call a truck.
The word covers everything from delivery vehicles to heavy freight haulers: Lorries rumbled past on the motorway.
In American English, lorry sounds distinctly foreign.
