# Convoy Information

Convoy Information provides information about a Convoy (an operational vehicle or combination of vehicle-units) which is used to transport goods and passengers.
It lists items carried by a Convoy and also has controls to access further details and sell the Convoy; follow the Convoy in game-view; and change the name and Schedule of the Convoy.

A Convoy is composed of at least one powered (motorised) vehicle-unit and any attached trailers/carriages.
Examples of Convoys include: a team of horses pulling a carriage; or a train engine attached to a tender and carriages; or a bus; or a van; or a truck attached to a trailer; or connected tram cars; or a ship; or a tugboat pulling a barge; or an aircraft.
Convoys are assembled and purchased from the depot for their type of transport.
{Tips: ?A Convoy has a maximum limit to number of vehicle-units in its composition: trains, 24; road vehicles, 4.}
