The units are parked near Cwmbran Fire Station's http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/467330 training tower. A tractor unit is also called a road tractor or traction unit. In Australia, the usual term is prime mover. The use of a tractor unit to haul a trailer or semi-trailer gives more flexibility (literally and figuratively) than a rigid vehicle.
