Automobiles

An automobile is a vehicle that moves on four wheels and is one of our primary methods of transportation. Automobiles are also known as cars or vehicles. Trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUV), and minivans are different types of automobiles, and are sometimes referred to as cars, vehicles, or motor vehicles.

Automobiles are usually powered by an internal combustion engine using gasoline or diesel fuel, or by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.

In North Dakota, automobiles, which include cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans, are primarily regulated by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). These vehicles must be registered with the NDDOT, and drivers are required to have a valid driver's license. Automobiles are subject to safety inspections and emissions testing to ensure they meet state and federal standards. North Dakota follows federal guidelines for fuel economy and emissions, which apply to vehicles powered by internal combustion engines using gasoline or diesel, as well as electric vehicles. Additionally, electric vehicles must adhere to specific regulations regarding the use of rechargeable batteries and charging infrastructure. All motor vehicles operated on public roads must carry minimum liability insurance as mandated by state law.
