【Learn Chinese】Chinese Lesson: Vehicles in Chinese
 
Transport revolves around our lives daily, so these words are super useful and imperative to learn in your quest to become fluent in Chinese.
A very important word to learn is the word for vehicle/car = 车 chē. Trust us, you’ll see that word a lot in this article and most places you go to in China!
 
Ambulance – 救护车 jiùhù chē
Bike/Bicycle – 自行车 zìxíng chē
(Public) Bus – 公共汽车 gōnggòng qìchē
Also, less commonly known as 公共巴士 Gōnggòng bāshì. The reason being bāshì is the loanword for bus as they sound very similar.
 
Car – 车 chē
Electric Car – 电动车 diàndòng chē
Fire Truck – 消防车 xiāofáng chē
Forklift – 叉车 chāchē
Moped – 机动自行车 jīdòng zìxíngchē
Motorbike – 摩托车 mótuō chē
Race Car – 赛车 Sàichē
Taxi – 出租车 chūzū chē
Tram – 电车 diànchē
Truck – 卡车 kǎchē
Van – 面包车 miànbāo chē (literally bread vehicle, very good translation!)
 
By the way, did you notice how EVERY word includes the character 车?
