Why is it masculine?

Camions is masculine. While the word does relate to Latin "camelus" (camel) through Old French origins, the modern French "camion" (truck) developed its meaning in the 19th-20th centuries to refer to motor vehicles and commercial trucks. The masculine gender is retained from its etymological connection to "camel," though the semantic shift to "vehicle" occurred long after the gender was established.
