Designed for a class project at Savannah College of Art and Design, this is a multi-functional semi truck concept that is based around a pod system.
The truck can be fitted with two separate pods. One pod has seating and storage for people across the country, while the other pod is strictly for cross country cargo shipment.
The concept behind this system is to reduce the amount of 18 wheelers on the road by creating one truck that can do the job of two. On top of being an efficient means of future transportation, this truck is environmentally friendly as well. There are large solar panels at the top of the truck that harness the sun's natural energy to power four individual motors in each wheel.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Multi-functional Semis
- Opportunity for creating semi trucks with multiple pods for people and cargo, reducing the number of trucks on the road.
- Efficient Transportation
- Opportunity to design trucks that can perform the tasks of two separate trucks, increasing efficiency in logistics and shipping.
- Solar-powered Trucks
- Opportunity to develop trucks with built-in solar panels to harness renewable energy for powering the vehicle.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Logistics and Shipping
- Industry can benefit from the development of multi-functional semis that optimize cargo and passenger transportation.
- Sustainable Transportation
- Industry can capitalize on the trend of solar-powered trucks to offer eco-friendly transportation solutions.
- Automotive Innovation
- Industry can explore disruptive opportunities by designing efficient and versatile multi-truck concepts that challenge the traditional trucking model.
