Definition
挂车 (guà chē) as a noun means 'trailer' — a vehicle designed to be pulled by another vehicle, such as a truck. Note that the same characters also form a verb phrase meaning 'to couple a trailer to a locomotive' (挂车, verb), but this entry covers only the noun sense. The compound literally means 'attached vehicle'.
