Tanker trucks, also known as tank trucks or road tankers, are specialized vehicles designed for the transportation of bulk liquids, including fuel (diesel/gasoline), cooking oil, potable/non-potable water, and select industrial chemicals. The tank is fabricated using mild steel or stainless steel, depending on the fluid compatibility, and is integrated onto a heavy-duty commercial chassis for regional or intracity distribution.
