iveco z truck not so long ago the project for the truck of the future was presented at the International Motor Show in Germany the iveco Z trucks were very special vehicle thanks to a futuristic interior a multifunctional airplane like steering wheel an interactive screen instead of usual dashboard and the lack of any buttons and a panoramic rear view mirror which is not actually a mirror but another huge digital screen besides the concept is filled with other modern technology according to the engineers the Z truck will use mainly biomethane as a fuel although usual liquefied gas will do too the predicted range of the truck is quite impressive 1367 miles the engine develops 460 horsepower and features a 16 gear automated transmission with power shift in the upper gears electronics control the behavior of the car on the road this way in the future technologies and autonomous driving will change the role of the driver who will become more of an onboard logistics operator when the vehicles parked the sliding wall of the rear slides back automatically adding 500 millimeters of interior length and increasing the living space this makes it possible to use all the features and amenities the driver may need such as a foldable bed a shower a kitchen a fridge a sink and an entertainment wall tab the transit elevated bus or tab is a proposed new bus concept it was first introduced in Beijing during a high-technology exhibition according to the inventors the vehicles not afraid of traffic jams and it won't interfere with other cars on the road it remotely reminds subway trains on mana rails but tap us a considerably smaller prime cost in spite of its impressive size this huge bus will not interfere with the traffic allowing the rest of the vehicles to pass underneath the bus even if it's moving it can have from 900 to 1200 passengers on board at the same time is 26 feet wide 16 feet high and a hundred feet long if the car underneath is more than six and a half feet then I'll have to use a road without halves by the way the transit elevated bus is eco-friendly it's powered by solar batteries the batteries themselves recharge at the bus stops inside the tunnel there are a few security systems for drivers ultrasound waves will alarm the driver if this vehicle is higher than it needs to be and a laser beam inside the tunnel controls the cars moving around or approaching to this super bus in case of danger it will notify the driver Mercedes future truck 2025 mercedes-benz future truck 2025 is a project for the first auto pilot truck capable of doing 50 miles per hour while self steering according to the developers the truck is absolutely ready for commercial use they're just waiting for the legislation of this kind of transport when changing its direction the future truck will inform your bounces using a set of orange lights if the car is being controlled manually the lights are white when the truck is driven by the autopilot the lights change their colors from white to blue the dashboard has a minimalistic look with displays highlighting the entire device the rearview mirrors are replaced by flat screens connected to the cameras instead of air outlets there's a climate control system with a touchscreen panel instead of your usual switches the surface of the dashboard is covered with leather the driver's chair can be turned 45 degrees to sit more comfortably while traveling the autopilot of this car works regardless of the traffic the system controls by itself all the parameters such as speed or safe distance this vehicle uses a scanning detector system that provides all the needed data the system can prevent collision with other cars or objects so there'll be fewer accidents caused by the human factor Willie transparent LCD bus advertising on public transport can be animated American designer Ted Orlovsky created a project of interactive buses with transparent LED panels on both sides the Willie bus can transmit music videos news location of the bus or its schedule and can even tell tourists about landmarks they'll be probably more than one panel so every one of them can transmit something different thanks to the panel's transparency passengers can look through them like through a usual window but from the street you wouldn't see anything inside the bus the vehicles controlled via sensor screens and in the windshield there's some useful information wave this new truck called the Walmart advanced vehicle experience as a very peculiar look it's made out of lights and materials and can work on all kinds of fuel the cabin has an elongated front part and an unusual shape which improves aerodynamics the driver's seat is placed right in the center surrounded by LCD screens the 50-foot long trailer is made of carbon fiber which makes it almost 2 tons lighter than ordinary trucks wave is equipped with fuel flexible propulsion and can work on diesel biodiesel and LNG also it has an onboard set of batteries which provides enough energy for another 60 miles on the road using its electric motor the truck can reach a top speed of 48 miles per hour if you want more then you'll need some diesel the battery capacity is 29 kilowatts the vehicle uses 13.7 percent less fuel than similar trucks
