Technically it is a historical vehicle, but it looks newer.

Their technical name is semi-tractor, most people call them a semi or semi-truck.

In the UK we refer to them as 'Articulated', or Artic for short. The front bit is known as the Tractor unit, and the back bit is obviously the Trailer. Put them both together and it is an Articulated Lorry.
If you have six axles on the road, the maximum permissible gross weight is 44 Tonnes
Horsepower wise, most are about 420HP, but they do go over 600HP, just that the fuel consuption goes a bit wild on these.
