tow / towing


Explanation:
Primer: "You'll only see one petrol model in this top-10 list of towing vehicles. A diesel is infinitely more suited to dragging a load around."
ili
"A tow truck (also called a wrecker, a breakdown truck, recovery vehicle or a breakdown lorry) is a truck used to move disabled, improperly parked, impounded, or otherwise indisposed motor vehicles. This may involve recovering a vehicle damaged in an accident, returning one to a drivable surface in a mishap or inclement weather, or towing or transporting one via flatbed to a repair shop or other location."

disagree  Daryo: CL5 // "tow truck" = prevoz olupina nakon sudara i sl. vs. "Tip vozila: vučno" = vuče razne prikolice (šleper i sl.)

  -> CL5? no entiendo... Pitanje se odnosilo na tip vozila (vučno – towing), a ne na silu koja deluje prilikom kretanja ovakvog vozila (tractive force – vučna sila). Dakle, CL5 – svakako! :)
