A winter service vehicle, or snow removal vehicle, is a vehicle specially designed or adapted to clear roads of ice and snow.
Winter service vehicles are generally based on a dump truck chassis, with adaptations that allow them to carry specially designed snow removal equipment.
Many authorities also use smaller vehicles on sidewalks, trails, and bike lanes. Highway maintenance agencies and contractors in temperate or polar areas often own several winter service vehicles, using them to keep roads clear of snow and ice and safe for winter driving.
Getting through the winter can be tough, especially if you live in a part of the country that gets heavy snowfall.
