The Bullock-cart as Appropriate Technology:
There are several types of animal-drawn carts in use in the country; bullock-carts, buffalo-carts, horse-carts, camel-carts and mule-carts. The bullock and buffalo carts are by far the predominant types of animal-drawn carts in use. Horse and mule-carts are found mainly in urban areas. Camelcarts are localized mainly in Rajasthan. There is little distinction between the carts hauled by bullocks and those hauled by buffaloes.
