Vehicles are non-living means of moving. They are most repeatedly man-made (e.g. bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, and aircraft), although some other means of transportation which are not made by man can also be called vehicles; examples include icebergs and balanced tree trunks. Vehicles may be propelled by animals, e.g. a chariot or an ox-cart. However, animals on their own, though used as a earnings of transportation, are not called vehicles. This includes humans transport another human, for example a child or a disabled person.
Vehicles that do not pass through on land are often called crafts, such as watercraft, sail craft, aircraft, hovercraft and spacecraft. Movement lacking the help of a vehicle or an animal is called locomotion. The word vehicle itself comes from the Latin vehicular.
