Lorry = EnglishTruck = American
Australians and New Zealanders call them trucks in addition to it being an internationally understood term in which lorry makes as much sense to a Latin American operator as Camion does to a Scandinavian or Slav etc.Which probably explains why I helped to make and drove fire trucks for export around the world while they were never called fire lorries even here.Also maybe why it’s not called lorrynet uk.
Generally, trucks are called Prime Movers or PM’s in Australia … further more most Fire trucks are called Fire engines or pumps … my a Father in Law is a 35 year vet of London Fire Brigade and they generally refer to them as Engines and pumps.
