MEXICO. This appears to be a type of semitrailer. It appears without context in software strings that I’m translating. The usage example below is taken from a random website.


"La unidad recuperada es un tráiler modelo 2001, color blanco, placas 466DD6 del Servicio Público Federal, acoplado a un semirremolque tipo góndola madrina, marca Cotrell, modelo 2000, placas 841VS3 también del SPF, sin carga."

a type of vehicular unit


Explanation:
The reference below explains that it's a type of vehicular unit, probably in the form of a trailer attached on to a lorry, truck or another type of vehicle used for transportation. It has a maximum length stipulated at 31 metres, with a maximum width of 2.60 metres. That measurement does not include rear mirrors or secure fastenings, attachments or any other add-ons to secure or safe-guard the load. Such accessories must not exceed a length of 20cm on either side of the vehicle.

A car carrier trailer, also known as a car-carrying trailer, car hauler, or auto transport trailer, is a type of trailer or semi-trailer designed to efficiently transport passenger vehicles via truck.

I think it's a car carrier or whatever you choose to call it but because I started posting here, I'll carry on.

Note to reference poster
Asker: I'm calling it a "car transporter" for now, which is what I'd normally call a Remolque portaautomóviles. The difference between Mexican and Spanish terminologies is amazing.
