Semi-truck, английский
An articulated (jointed) combination vehicle, often composed of a 10-wheeled (three axle) tractor and an 4-wheeled (two axle) trailer. there are also two axle tractors, single axle trailers, and occasionally combinations with extra lift axles. in some applications a semi can pull additional full trailers (doubles and triples) with the use of a single axle or tandem axle converter dolly. the use of the term «semi» in the name comes from the semi-trailer, a vehicle whose load is carried partly by its own axles and partly by the pulling vehicle, which is commonly included in tractor-trailer rigs.
