A heavy lorry (carrier truck) is a road vehicle of important affected tonnage, either with the carriage of goods (truck, semitrailer, road train), or with the transport of people (bus). The heavy lorry is distinguished from the light vehicle on the technical level (load with the axle definitely more important, dimensions...) but also on the administrative level.

In Europe, its control requires a specific licence and an adapted formation.

- Licence C: Convey carrying more than 3,5 tons vehicles Total Weight Authorized in Load, intended for the carriage of goods.

- Licence E(C): Vehicles of category C and trailers of more than 750 kg.

Licence E(C) authorizes the control of the coupled vehicles whose towing vehicle is included in the category C, and whose weight of the trailer or the semitrailer exceeds 750 kg. It relates to in fact the articulated vehicles and sets of vehicles. There is no weight limit to the unit.

Moreover, the circulation of the heavy lorries is subjected to a particular, strict regulation in particular with regard to times of control.
