[Music] [Music] how do you picture the trucks of the future if you haven't given it much thought before take a look at this concept from the artmi leev studio [Music] while traditional semi-trailers seem stuck in the past this model sets itself apart with a futuristic and Sleek design naturally it's a self-driving vehicle instead of a human driver a mix of Radars sensors and cameras keeps an eye on the road plus this truck won't need to stop for breaks meals or rest allowing it to deliver Goods faster it's electric too keeping up with today's Trends and not only does it look great but the Cap's design helps distribute weight onto the front axle making the vehicle more stable gie began as a maker of refrigeration parts but as grown into one of the world's major car manufacturers through their forizon Auto brand the Chinese Auto giant has revealed the home truck cblas truck [Music] the company believes that self-driving technology will shape the future of Commercial Road Transport in fact jie predicts that by 2030 driverless trucks will dominate the market it's no surprise then that the H truck caas truck has achieved level four autonomy meaning that it can handle many situations without any human intervention flexibility is key here Chinese experts say that the super van chassis allows for trucks with various Drve trains in adjustable Dimensions as for its look car enthusiasts might see hints of the Volvo Vera the Stein winter super cargo 2040 and other similar [Music] projects the next truck also comes from forizon Auto it's a more traditional model with a human driver but it's packed with advanced features for instance the cabin includes a shower a toilet a bed and even a small kitchen but who's driving while the driver is showering or cooking that's where the level four autopilot comes in taking over if there's no one else at the wheel if there are multiple trucks heading to the same place they can use convoying features the trucks communicate with each each other to maintain the same speed and a safe distance plus they have a 360° view of the road and thanks to their flexible design these trucks can use different powertrains including hybrid methanol [Music] ones many countries are facing a shortage of truck drivers in Germany alone they're short of about about 100,000 professionals while employers are struggling to find new drivers companies like evoc cargo are offering a different solution their clients can order not just an autonomous vehicle but a complex [Music] system Evo cargo solution is great for short trips for example within a warehouse complex the car go is moved by small N1 electric vehicles that can travel 200 km on a full charge and carry up to 2 tons at a time they can operate 24/7 if needed while cutting Transportation costs by 30% Walmart is the world's largest wholesale and retail chain with over 10,000 stores in 24 countries this massive scale brings in billions of dollars in Revenue to keep things running smoothly the company needs topnotch Logistics so it's no surprise that Walmart decided to create its own [Music] truck here's the first prototype along with Walmart other companies such as Peterbuilt Rous engineering great Dame trailer and Capstone Turbine contributed to its development the truck boasts Sleek aerodynamics and a Hybrid engine with electric components it primarily runs on diesel but can also use compressed or liquefied natural gas as well as biofuels plus the trailer is made almost entirely of carbon fiber making it about 1. 8 tons lighter [Music] the story of the H2 truck is impressive all around Soccer Star Leonel Messi helped unveil it and its first test was none other than the dhar rally [Music] 20122 the truck combines two e Motors of 300 KW each and hydrogen fuel cells this setup lets the driver reach speeds of up to 140 kmph and travel 250 km on one charge with a special station charging takes just 20 minutes as a result the H2 truck became the first hydrogen powered truck to complete the decer kudos to the engineers designers and everyone involved in the successful [Music] project scale is a research project focused on making Supply chains more efficient it involves six Partners including Toyota and Chalmer University of Technology with the Swedish energy agency providing funding the goal is to create a fully automated system for loading unloading and transporting goods [Music] the project uses automated Warehouse forklifts from Toyota and compact electric trucks from the Swedish company iride they use machine learning can travel up to 180 km on a single charge and reach speeds up to 30 km hour [Music] Vision TX offers another take on the future of semi-trailers this cab over design should appeal to truck drivers who will be seated in the center of the cab plus screens and cameras replace mirrors making the drive even [Music] cooler the cab can also transform into a rest area and has a hidden storage section on the sides all this is tied together with a wellth thought out aerodynamic design which is especially important for an electric [Music] vehicle Hyundai experts are also quite Innovative just take a look at their trailer drone and HDC 6 Neptune projects the trailer drone is a set of two platforms and container that can drive autonomously and even move sideways it runs on hydrogen and each platform can travel 500 kilomet on a single charge giving it an impressive total range hyundi sees this concept as ideal for Logistics tasks but it could also serve well as an emergency [Music] vehicle the second project the HD C6 Neptune is a hydrogen power truck the South Korean team Drw inspiration from The Works of Henry draus the renowned American designer who shaped the look of the Polaroid camera the HT Nitro thermotech refrigerated trailer runs on liquid nitrogen and offers temperature control lights in the [Music] cab the Kama Jupiter 30 is also seeing continuous improvements last year this dump truck was showcased at the inner prom Kazakhstan industrial exhibition what stands out about it well for one it's 30 ton payload and the fact that it has no cab as it's an unmaned model it moves using data from various sensors Radars antennas and cameras the truck is surprisingly maneuverable with both axles able to Pivot and each having its own traction motor additionally it features an inline 6-cylinder diesel engine the truck's speed is capped at 56 kmph it's worth mentioning that the Jupiter 30 is the first model in its family and we might even see more advanced versions in the [Music] [Applause] future Kenworth impressed the crowd at act Expo 2024 with the Super Truck 2 the experts have been working on this vehicle for 6 years and the result speaks for itself it looks like a high-speed train and is packed with cuttingedge tech inside the truck's engine runs on diesel but it works together with a regenerative braking generator and Powers some of the Super Truck 2 [Music] systems as a result even experts was surprised by its fuel efficiency of just 18. 4 L per 100 km plus the truck and trailer together weigh only 11,793 [Music] kg BYU and pinin Farina have combined their creative efforts to introduce Zing 2 an electric truck that's all about aerodynamics and Smart Systems the engineers have done a remarkable job achieving an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.
35 to give you an idea of how impressive that is the Tesla Model y has a coefficient of 0. 32 the truck's Smart Systems are equally notable using a combination of cameras lasers and sensors the vehicle can see obstacles from up to a kilometer away now you might be wondering about it range The Zing 2 can travel 300 km on a single charge while that might not seem like much there are two important things to consider first it takes only an hour to fully charge the truck and second the battery can be swapped out for a fresh one in just 6 [Music] minutes by the way the experts at Pin and Farina have also assisted another company AC future this time their collaboration resulted in the eth which stands for electric Transformer house on the road it looks like a futuristic van but when parked it expands and the Interior Space increases to 37 square m inside you'll find a kitchen a bathroom a bedroom and a living room the roof is equipped with solar panels that generate about 25 KW hours of power Additionally the manufacturers have included a system that extracts moisture from the air producing up to 50 L of Clean Water daily the eth is set to begin mass production in [Music] 2025 what does IO Envision for the future let's take a look at the IAA event the renowned truck maker unveiled Zed truck [Music] its spaceship inspired design wow to the crowd instead of a traditional steering wheel Ico put in a Rudder the driver sits in the middle of the cab and sees important info like the route right on the windshield as to avoid distractions the engine is equally impressive The Zed truck runs on gas specifically liquefied natural gas or biomethane this makes it a third more e iCal than previous Evo models and it can travel 2,200 km on a full tank not too shabby especially with a 460 horsepower engine and a 16-speed automatic gearbox so what do you think is this the future of Mobility meanwhile Freightliner Engineers are still working on the super truck project an Ultra efficient diesel truck yes you read that right it's not electric or hydrogen powered but runs on diesel they've already hit some major Milestones the Super Truck 2 for instance has a gross weight of 37 tons and can travel 100 km at around 104 km hour using less than 18 L of fuel [Music] that's nearly a 6% Improvement in savings compared to the Super Truck one Engineers have also cut aerodynamic drag by 12% and added a self-adjusting ground clearance system all these advancements add up to significant fuel savings it's no surprise that the project is backed by the US Department of energy [Music] the new actross L semi-trailer has taken efficiency to a new level according to Mercedes the German automaker Specialists have redesigned the cab for better era Dynamics resulting in a 3% fuel savings compared to the previous version Additionally the third generation om 471 engine Cuts consumption by another 4% this engine features new turbochargers and an upgraded exhaust gas after treatment system as usual there are three cabin options stream big and gigaspace interestingly Mercedes pays attention to even the smallest customer preferences for instance you can choose between traditional mirrors or the mirror cam camera system it's clear that the Mercedes lives up to its motto the best or [Music] nothing picture this you need to move something incredibly large and heavy like a furnace module for a Plastics manufacturing facility these modules are as tall as the Statue of Liberty and weigh over 8,000 tons that's where the Mano spmt self-propelled modules come in they're so robust that a single axle can handle up to 44 tons and they come in four five 6 and eight axle [Music] versions plus these modules can be linked together which is great for Logistics experts planning Complex Transport operations it's also worth mentioning that all the wheels on the Mamo at spmt can rotate 3 60° and the platform can lift 60 cm most people know Tesla for its Passenger cars such as the model 3 or the angular cyber truck but Tesla also manufactures semi-trailers since 2022 Elon musk's company has been producing an electric truck called semi Tesla believes that the future of trucking is electric one of the major advantages it offers to buyers is cost savings charging the semi is 50% cheaper than fueling a diesel engine for every 1.
