Eco-Friendly Truck Concepts

The Volvo Truck Concept's Aerodynamic Design Promises Fuel Savings

— June 1, 2016 — Autos
The latest and greatest Volvo Truck Concept is a feat of automotive engineering that is designed to offer significant and undeniably tangible fuel savings without compromising on performance and reliability in any way.

This particular concept truck's extraordinary fuel consumption is the result of boosted aerodynamic design that has resulted in the truck being 40 percent more aerodynamic than predecessors, meaning that a little fuel goes a long way. Aerodynamic performance is further enhanced by the use of cameras in the place of rear-view mirrors, optimized side-skirts that keep the rear wheels covered and boosted air flow thanks to the engine cooling system.

The Volvo Truck Concept is set to revolutionize the long-haul trucking industry by adding eco-friendly performance to the mix, making this form of transportation more productive.
