Trailers are unpowered vehicles coupled to and towed by a powered vehicle. They are also called towed units. A distinction is made between trailers and semitrailers. The tractor unit and the semitrailer combined are characterized in that a substantial part of the weight of the semitrailer and its cargo is supported by and rests on the tractor unit.
