Means of transport (disambiguation)

Means of transport are means that serve traffic . In the first definitions the term still had a very broad meaning, which was then further restricted.

• Colloquially, means of transport are mostly vehicles . Vehicles are only a subset of the means of transport: pack animals, for example, are means of transport but not vehicles. Gerd Aberle limited this importance further in 2006, since only motorized vehicles represent means of transport for him.
• To this day, the definition of Carl Pirath from 1949, who understands means of transport as modes of transport , is partly followed . Rail , road , water , air, and communications are given as examples.
• Emil Sax defined transport as a means of transport in 1918 . Traffic route , vehicle or traffic vessel, traffic object and the moving force are thus means of transport. The traffic is the exception.
