Lunar Roving Vehicle
The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972.
They are popularly known as "Moon buggies", a play on the words "dune buggy".
These three LRVs remain on the Moon.
