Rear Engine trucks Explanation: I found a car that was called that way because of the position of its engine: it was located at the back, not at the front: http://jornaldocarro.estadao.com.br/fanaticos/renault-4cv-19... Aqui, onde chegou nos anos 50, recebeu uma alcunha mais irreverente. “Rabo Quente” faz alusão ao motor na traseira, até então inédito no País. Could it be the case here too? |

asphalt distributor trucks Explanation: "Asphalt Distributor Trucks typically feature between a 1,000- 2,000 gallon tank with a rear-mounted spray bar. These features allow for the operator to precisely and evenly apply a layer of tack coats or primer before paving." Also known as HMA trucks: https://youtu.be/SB9pnguGL9o Reference: http://www.ironplanet.com/Asphalt+Distributor+Trucks |
