Всъщност както е споменал invguy, "combination vehicle" е по-точно. "Road train" не включва композиции, състоящи се от само две превозни средства.

agree  Ivan Klyunchev: Композиция ми напомня на автовлак: http://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Автовлак , но английският термин http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorail според мен не отговаря на българския. Редактирайте отговора за речника.

agree  Albena Simeonova: Oxford dict: train - a number of vehicles or pack animals moving in a line: има дори camel train, така че влакът всъщност е композиция

agree  invguy: (Автомобилна) композиция = (само) combination vehicle. Това може да е и просто влекач с полуремарке. Автовлакът (road train = longer combination vehicle, LCV) е композиция с *повече от една* точка на съчленяване – т.е. при завой се "чупи" поне на 2 места.

articulated vehicle


Explanation:
Мисля, че това е достатъчно общо название и ще съответства на дефиницията.

Trucks can be classified as either straight or articulated. A straight truck is one in which all axles are attached to a single frame. An articulated vehicle is one that consists of two or more separate frames connected by suitable couplings.
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/37096/articulated-...
An articulated vehicle can typically make sharper turns than a rigid vehicle of a similar length. To manage this, these vehicles are designed with a pivot, which can allow them to bend from side to side. An articulated vehicle may be one cohesive unit, such as a bus, or a two-part unit, such as a truck and trailer. In the latter case, the pivot typically consists of the ball or fifth-wheel hitch that connects the trailer to the truck.

neutral  Ivan Klyunchev: Това според мен отговаря на български на съчленено превозно средство. Най-често на български се използва изразът "съчленен автобус". При него обаче отделните части са неотделяеми и това е разликата с композицията. Общата категория е Articulated Vehicles.
