# Heavy Duty Construction Vehicles The 'Red' AWD Vehicle Has a Semi-Autonomous Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-02-19 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/construction-vehicle References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/02/19/a-tractor-on-steroids/) The conceptual 'Red' construction vehicle has been created to offer a new way to perform tasks when it comes to a wide array of heavy duty applications without the need for too much person power. The vehicle sports a [semi-autonomous design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ewagon) along with "limbs" that can extend and contract to perform an array of different tasks in areas that have varying size constraints. Each of the wheels are outfitted with all-electric motors and feature an [all-wheel drive design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoquad-v2), which makes it perfect for traversing rugged terrain where other vehicles might not be able to venture. The conceptual 'Red' construction vehicle speaks to the growing shift towards [autonomous vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avride-robot) and is also outfitted with 360-degree obstacle detection technology as well as collision avoidance. The vehicle is the design work of Joona Järvinen.
