Talk:Truck

message: The article states "Trucks contribute to air, noise, and water pollution similarly to automobiles. Trucks may[vague] emit lower air pollution emissions than cars per equivalent vehicle mass, although the absolute level per vehicle distance traveled is higher, and diesel exhaust is especially dangerous for health." This is badly out of date, given the many changes to after-treatments in the ten years since the references cited. Can someone look into re-writing this based on the latest data?

replies: text:   I have added a couple of sentences to the "engines and motors" section but yes more update is needed about environmental impact. I am not an expert and am not watching this article so if you or anyone else has the latest data please go ahead.Chidgk1 (talk) 11:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

In line with MOS:ARTCON, only one form of English should be used in this article, so "lorry" shouldn't appear except in places that discuss the terminology itself.  The title itself is "truck" rather than "lorry", and "lorry" doesn't appear anywhere else in the article, except the introduction, the "Etymology" section, and some of the references.  122.150.71.249 (talk) 04:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

message: Box trucks ("tilts" in the UK) have walls and a roof, making an enclosed load space. The rear has doors for unloading; a side door is sometimes fitted.
The above description is incorrect. A tilt (in the UK) is a canvas cover for the back of a vehicle, often used on LandRovers.
Full tilt covers whole vehicle, or there is 3/4 , 1/2 tilts. Shedload (talk) 22:57, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I've removed mention of the term "tilts" from that section. Graham87 (talk) 02:54, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
