Utility vehicles

A utility vehicle is defined by Oxford Language as “a truck with low sides designed for carrying small loads,” but practical usage of the term incorporates more than one might think. From public service to cleaning machinery, these specialized vehicles help provide essential services for communities. The classification includes:

• Garbage trucks
• Vacuum trucks
• Road sweepers
• Tow trucks
• Fire trucks
• Ambulances
• Ground support equipment
• Cleaning machinery

Function and Usage

Generally, municipalities are responsible for obtaining, organizing, and maintaining utility vehicles to support larger groups of people and manage day-to-day operations in urban environments. These vehicles can help the public on an individual level, such as tow trucks or ambulances. They can also provide a service based on the population and the assistance required, such as garbage trucks or road sweepers, which service an entire area on a consistent and frequent basis.

Each municipality must regulate their fleet of utility vehicles. Some areas require, and can fund, fleets that may have hundreds of vehicles, while other smaller communities may have a single vehicle that performs more than one duty.
