🚗 Vehicle Information System 🚛

📌 Overview

The Vehicle Information System is a Java-based console application that allows users to manage and retrieve information about different types of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and trucks. Designed with object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, it demonstrates inheritance, interfaces, and encapsulation to create a flexible vehicle management system.

✨ Features

✔️ Choose a vehicle type: Car, Motorcycle, or Truck
✔️ Retrieve vehicle details:

• 🚗 Car: Number of doors, fuel type
• 🏍️ Motorcycle: Number of wheels, motorcycle type
• 🚛 Truck: Cargo capacity, transmission type
  ✔️ Uses Object-Oriented Principles: Interfaces & Inheritance
  ✔️ User-friendly console interface
