liàng

classifier for vehicles

Vehicle (车) + two/pair (两) = the counter for vehicles

车 grounds the character in vehicles, while 两, meaning 'two' or 'a pair,' originally evoked a two-wheeled cart and now lends the counting sense for vehicles. Together they form the natural classifier you reach for whenever you count cars, bikes, or buses.
