Definition
机动车 (jīdòngchē) is a formal, technical term for any vehicle with a motor (cars, buses, motorcycles, etc.), as opposed to non-motor vehicles like bicycles. It is broader than 汽车 (qìchē, 'car') and 摩托车 (mótuōchē, 'motorcycle'), which are specific types. 车辆 (chēliàng) is a more general term that can include both motor and non-motor vehicles.
