ATV is a lightweight off-road vehicle that mainly runs on the beach or desert. It usually has a simple lightweight open body structure, an engine with sufficient torque, and large off-road tires. ATVs first appeared in southern California in the 1950s. At first, it was probably just a modified product made by some amateurs who removed the shell of the old car they wanted to scrap and installed large off-road tires on the remaining chassis. However, gradually, there began to be ATVs that were professionally modified based on the structure of specific models, or directly produced kits for people to assemble and drive.

The English name of all terrain vehicle is All Terrain Vehicle, abbreviated as ATV, commonly known as "ATV", also known as "all terrain four-wheel off-road locomotive". The vehicle is simple and practical, good off-road performance, and generally has no hood.

All terrain vehicles refer to vehicles that can travel on any terrain and can walk freely on terrain where ordinary vehicles are difficult to maneuver. It is commonly known as beach car in China. Because its structure is very similar to that of a motorcycle, and many parts are common to motorcycles, it is also called a "four wheeled motorcycle". This type of vehicle has a variety of uses, and is not limited by road conditions. It is widely used in North America and Western Europe, showing a rising trend year by year.

In fact, we can hardly express it with simple Chinese names; According to its appearance, it is difficult to translate it into "all terrain four-wheel off-road locomotive". It is wrong to call it [beach car] in China. On soft sandy land, ATV wide tires increase the contact area with the ground to produce greater friction, and with unique tread patterns, the tires are not easy to idle and slip, but easy to drive on sandy land; Therefore, misunderstanding is called ATV.
