Livy (XXXIII:37) describes a triumphal procession of one of the consuls of that year following a victory over the cisalpine gauls (its a bit unclear from the text whether it is the Insubres, Boii, or maybe the "Comani"):

"Large quantities of spoils, taken from the enemy, were carried in the procession in captured chariots, and many military standards; also, three hundred and twenty thousand asses of brass, two hundred and thirty-four thousand of silver denarii, stamped with a chariot."
Well that doesn't mean they were war chariots. Chariots as such are still in use today for transportation.
