Everything about Dray totally explained
A
wagon (in
British English, sometimes
waggon) or
dray is a heavy four-wheeled
vehicle. Wagons were formerly pulled by animals such as
horses,
mules or
oxen. Today farm wagons are pulled by tractors and trucks. Wagons are used for
transportation of people or
goods. Wagons are distinguished from
carts (which have two wheels), and from lighter four-wheeled vehicles such as
carriages. A wagon could be pulled by one animal or by several, often in pairs.
Sometimes, the word
wagon is also used for
railroad cars (not motorized, for goods or passengers), and the word is a part / the usual short form of
station wagon, the non-British term for a sedan (saloon) with an extended rear cargo area. Other names: estate (car) / shooting brake (UK), break (F), station sedan (Aus), Kombi (generally in
German, in
English also varied to combi), Variant (
VW models), Caravan (
GM's
Opel models), Avant (
Audi's wagons), Touring (
BMW's wagons).
