In Indonesia, delman is a traditional two-, three- or four-wheeled transportation vehicle that does not use an engine but uses horses instead. Variations of transportation that use horses include war chariots, horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn carriages.
The name of this vehicle comes from the name of its inventor, Charles Theodore Deeleman, a lithographer and engineer during the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch themselves called this vehicle dos-à-dos (back to back, the literal meaning of French), which is a type of carriage where the passengers sit back to back. The term dos-à-dos was shortened again to 'sado' by the native people of Batavia.
