The first digit represents the number of wheels on the vehicle (functionally), the second digit the number of powered wheels.
These tractors are the most common in road transport.
They differ primarily in cabin size, engines and fifth wheel height.
Standard tractors have a fifth wheel height of 100-120cm,
while "low deck" tractors for lower trailers have a fifth wheel height of between 0,86 and 0,95m.

6x2 tractor ( with trailing axle )
- this entry indicates that the drive is transmitted to one axle.
The first digit indicates the number of wheels on the vehicle (functionally) and the second digit the number of driven wheels.
The notation "trailing-axle" means that the tractor is driven by a second axle.
These tractors are the most common in road transport, mainly in oversize haulage,
container transport and refrigerated transport.
They are also often found on building sites, attached to semi-trailers of the tub/tipper type.
They differ primarily in cab size, engines and fifth wheel height.
Standard tractors have a fifth wheel height of 100-120cm,
Low deck" tractors for lower trailers have a fifth wheel height of 95 to 100cm.
Some models have the option of raising the tow axle.

6x2 tractor (pusher)
- this entry indicates that the drive is transmitted to one axle.
The first digit indicates the number of wheels on the vehicle (functionally), the second digit the number of driven wheels.
Pusher' means a pushed axle (in this case the centre axle). The last axle is the drive axle.
These tractors are most commonly used in road transport, mainly in oversize transport,
container transport, refrigerated transport.
They are also often found on construction sites, attached to semi-trailers of the bathtub/tipper type.
They differ mainly in the size of the cabs, engines and height of the fifth wheel.

6x4 tractor
- This notation means that the drive is transmitted to the last two axles.
The first digit represents the number of wheels on the vehicle (functionally) and the second digit represents the number of driven wheels.
These tractors are most often found in road transport, mainly in oversize transport,
container transport and refrigerated transport.
They can also be found on construction sites, attached to semi-trailers like bathtub / dump truck.
They differ primarily in cab size, engines and fifth wheel height.
Standard tractors have a saddle height of 100-120cm.
Some models have the option of raising the axle, which significantly affects fuel consumption when the vehicle is unladen

8x4 tractor ( with trailing axle )
- this entry indicates that the drive is transmitted to the last two axles.
The first figure indicates the number of wheels on the vehicle (functionally), and the second the number of driven wheels.
These tractors are the most common in road transport, mainly in oversize haulage.
They differ mainly in the size of the cabs, engines and height of the fifth wheel.
The height of the fifth wheel on these heavy, specialised tractors is somehow adjustable (pendulum fifth wheels) and measures 130-165 cm.
The central axle, in this case the push axle, is torsionally rigid and often lifted.

10x4 tractor
- This notation means that the drive is transmitted to two axles.
Depending on the model and manufacturer, the last two axles are driven.

In this tab, you will find technical drawings of tractor units (in our case, VOLVO), with short descriptions of individual models. In the second part of the tab, you will find all types of semi-trailers, divided into three categories (standard semi-trailers, open specialist semi-trailers, low-floor semi-trailers), with short descriptions and illustrative technical drawings
