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
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.

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 from 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. |

If your client had read the actual context he would not have made the mistake of thinking carro is a vehicle. Your list is of types of railway wagon, and TC 09 carro especial is just "Special wagon"
https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/special-truck
Now I'm stuck on ""TC09 Carro Especial"...
I'm sure there must be an official or quasi-official list of these terms in English, as they are used in international transport, but I'm damned if I can find it.
El término original era ‘nodrizas’ y hace alusión a que es la que cuida a los autos pequeños y los lleva en el camino. El término se fue modificando y actualmente se les conoce de las dos formas.
Las madrinas son una pieza fundamental para la industria automotriz.
En la mayoría de los casos, los transportistas dependen de las plantas productoras.

It does explain both words, but it doesn't make clear whether they're synonyms. I wonder if one is enclosed and one isn't.
Cottrell does mainly make car transporter trailers, and you could probably get away with that as a translation, but I wonder if it's a particular kind of transporter.

I’ll leave the query open anyway, because I think this sort of thing should be in the glossaries.
