Articulated lorries are called "articulated" because they consist of two main parts: a tractor unit and a semi-trailer that are connected by a pivoting joint. This design allows for greater maneuverability and flexibility compared to rigid trucks, as the trailer can pivot independently of the cab. The articulation enables the vehicle to navigate tight turns and complex road conditions more easily.
