- To coat with bitumen — To coat, cover, or mix mineral aggregates (crushed stone, gravel, sand) with a hydrocarbon binder (fluid bitumen or bituminous emulsion) to obtain asphalt mixtures for road surfaces. In civil engineering, this structural process ensures the cohesion, impermeability, and mechanical resistance of bituminous layers applied to highways or public roads.
- Bitumen-coated — Having undergone the process of anrobare; a mineral aggregate, stone chipping, or rocky material that has been uniformly wrapped and covered with a thin film of bitumen, emulsion, or hydrocarbon binder. In a technical sense, it describes the state of the components of an asphalt mixture ready to be laid and compacted on the roadway to form impermeable and resistant road layers.

As an adjective, it describes a material or cellular assembly structured by this type of autonomous in situ assembly.
- Dump truck — A heavy-duty construction site vehicle of high productivity, equipped with a robust tipping body, used for the transport and rapid unloading of soil, rock, ores, or other construction materials on rough terrains or in extraction quarries.
- Refrigerated truck — A self-propelled transport vehicle (van, truck, or box truck) equipped with an airtight isothermal body and its own mechanical refrigeration plant (cooling unit). It is used in cold chain logistics for the road transport of perishable goods, such as frozen or fresh food, flowers, and pharmaceuticals, maintaining a constant controlled temperature.
