Future Truck with some Unusual Features

This future concept transport truck has several interesting features not currently being used anywhere in the trucking industry. It’s a design by Chinese vehicle designer Haishan Deng, and it’s being called the “Bionic Chameleon Concept” truck.

So what’s unique about this future truck? Can these ideas help owner-operators and drivers get the job done?

Besides increased fuel economy thanks to the weight of the canvas material used on the truck (which weighs half of what the material used in conventional trucks use, although the durability might be questioned), this future trucking machine uses a system of expandable units and unusual sliding technology.

The cargo size can be adjusted because the body is segmented, and segments can be taken out.

The load of the truck seems to be accessed by the front (see the image at the bottom of this article). And the cab of the truck (see top image) seems to be two main parts: one is the seat of the drivers area, and one is the entire window-and-roof area, which lifts up for the driver to enter.

The whole cockpit lifts up to access the interior cargo bay.

What do you think of this future transport vehicle (it’s not a semi, even, its a single piece truck, like the way a motorhome is built sort of).
