Walmart has begun testing on a brand new futuristic aerodynamic trucks. With a current count of 7,000 trucks, Walmart looks to the future.
These futuristic trucks being designed in the Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience or 'WAVE' project. With almost a 20% increase in aerodynamics and capable of running on most fuel types excluding nuclear, as well as having battery power capabilities, the 'WAVE' is a new friend for the environment.
The cabine is a spacious single seater with LCD screens showing views around the truck eliminates some of those pesky blind spots. A wide windshield provides superior visibility to surrounding traffic.
The ultra-light cargo hold made of one 53-foot piece of carbon fiber allows the trucks to carry more cargo than their older counter parts.
