# Aerodynamic Shipping Vehicles The Volvo FH Globetrotter Commercial Truck Adapts to Different Needs By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commercial-truck References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/01/25/one-sharp-semi/) The need for complex solutions regarding the [shipment of goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-trucking-operation) has seen the development of the [Volvo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-volvo-space) FH Globetrotter commercial truck. Designed by Rhys Llewellyn, the Volvo FH Globetrotter truck has an [aerodynamic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talis-trailer) that enables it to move with little resistance across landscapes. When the Volvo FH Globetrotter is moving at slow speeds it features a design focused on visibility, but when it transitions to high-speed transport the truck tucks in to increase the aerodynamic profile. The driver of the commercial truck can easily transition between the driving cabin and the sleeping quarters to make it suitable for long-term shipments. The vehicle identifies how existing shipping solutions will continue to be fine-tuned and developed to be more efficient for the growing demands of the modern economy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Aerodynamic Shipping Vehicles:** Innovations in aerodynamics for shipping vehicles provide greater efficiency and cost savings opportunities. - **Multi-functional Commercial Vehicles:** Commercial vehicles designed for multi-functional use provide increased productivity and versatility in the transportation industry. - **Smart Fleet Management:** Integrating technology into fleet management creates more efficient and sustainable transportation operations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** Innovations in shipping vehicles and fleet management create opportunities for efficiency and cost savings in transportation and logistics operations. - **Automotive:** Multi-purpose commercial vehicles provide potential disruption to the automotive industry as they redefine traditional commercial vehicle design. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of commercial vehicles and transportation technology have opportunities to develop and market new products and solutions that enhance efficiency and multi-functional capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autonomous Cabin-Free Shipping Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-truck.md) - [Decarbonized Long-Haul Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longhaul-truck.md) - [Futuristic User-Centric Travel Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-volvo-space.md) - [Self-Driving Collaborative Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-truck-1.md) - [Modular Shipping Trailer Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-trailer-drone.md) - [All-Electric Medium-Duty Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediumduty-truck.md) - [Friendly Business Delivery Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-delivery-truck.md) - [Electric Freight Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eactros-longhaul.md) - [Solar-Powered Refrigerated Shipping Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birds-eye-shipping-trucks.md)
