Walmart, the largest food retailer in the world, has presented its idea of an efficient semi-truck that will cut emissions caused by road transportation.
They want to create a full trailer made from carbon fiber. The huge panels of the trailer made up the sides of the regular-sized trailer 53 feet or 16 meters in length and it’s the biggest of their kind in the world.
The concept is called WAVE from Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experiment. The driver of this truck has a perfectly centered look of the road because of the McLaren F1 driving position, and have additional information on the information screen.
The WAVE gets its power from a “prototype advanced turbine-powered, range-extending series hybrid Powertrain that are combined with a battery storage system and an electric motor.
The Wave won’t spawn a Walmart-branded truck, not official, because it’s financially difficult to make the trailer from carbon with the reported weight savings of 1,847kg or 4,000 lbs.
