8 Amazing TRUCK TECHNOLOGIES

introducing truck wings an active aerodynamic CAPTA trailer system designed by California company extreme formerly known as the gap gorilla this game-changing invention could help reduce the 100 billion dollars spent annually by the US trucking industry the gap between the truck and its trailer creates tremendous air resistance requiring the engine to work harder and burn more fuel based on recent research studies indicating that reducing aerodynamic drag can contribute up to 12% in fuel savings truck Wings uses an automatic system designed to close that gap truck wings incorporates folding panels attached to the rear sides and roof of the cab when the truck reaches approximately 40 miles per hour the panel's automatically swing out to close the space between the cab and the trailer this streamlines the airflow over the truck giving it aerodynamic properties similar to a high-speed bullet train the panels automatically retract at low speeds and during turns in 2016 extreme one the $50,000 first-place prize in the first look west competition with fuel costs rising it won't be long before truck wings becomes more widely used check out the amazing fleet plows from Pennsylvania companies scraper systems North America's number-one snow removal machines for trucks and buses whether you own a single truck or bus an entire fleet this is the last thing you'd want to see with a fleet plow this disaster will never happen these safe and effective snow scrapers will get rid of that snow fast first position the vehicle so that the front of the trailer is just beneath the plow blade use the two-button activator located in the control box to activate the system this will lower the plow blade into place on the trailers roof the adjustable chain hoist can set the plows height from 9 to 15 feet then just drive forward at a moderate speed and say goodbye to that snow the Accu guide system keeps the rubber plow blade in perfect contact with the roof various portable and bass mounted fleet plows are available for trucks with other models designed for buses so don't let this happen get a fleet plow from scraper systems and breathe a little easier this is the e highway from international corporation Simon's an innovative solution for electrified Road freight transport combining the efficiency of the railway with the flexibility of the roadway the e highway provides relief from the pollutants emitted by diesel engines while the prototype hybrid truck does include a combustion engine an on-board electric motor allows for total electrical operation the e highway system employs continuously powered electrical contact lines positioned above the roadway these lines are used to transmit power to the hybrid trucks driving below initially an onboard sensor determines if the traffic lane is equipped with a contact line if so the truck automatically raises an active electrical array called a pantograph once the pantograph is in full contact with the lines power begins flowing to the trucks electric motor the truck now operates on electricity alone an onboard sensor keeps the truck properly aligned braking creates a reverse flow of electricity which can be either returned to the system or used for battery charging while the Simon's a highway may not be a workable solution everywhere even a limited deployment will help improve the environment introducing the Samsung safety truck a proposed innovation that allows vehicles driving behind a semi trucks trailer to see right through it when you find yourself behind a loaded semi truck on the road the restricted view of oncoming traffic can make passing it an extremely dangerous proposition because this highly unsafe maneuver has caused untold numbers of accidents on highways around the world Samsung engineers in Argentina have developed a trailer that provides a clear view of the road ahead for those following behind a camera mounted on the front of the truck captures the truck drivers view of the road and streams it to a large display on the rear of the trailer with this transparent view passing the truck becomes much safer made up of four weatherproof monitors this display is also capable of displaying clear images during evening hours using night vision technology as much as modern innovation has changed the lives of those living in our times this technology could actually save lives though it's no longer being tested this innovative system could be the first of similar developments in the years to come meet the Bison an attractively sleek electric pickup truck from the Canadian based have log group with front and rear electric motors powering its four-wheel independent 220 kilowatt drive systems the Bison can reach 60 miles per hour in only six seconds the prototypes 40 kilowatt battery pack is soon to be eclipsed by production models with optional 50 and 90 kilowatt batteries though electronically limited to 85 miles per hour it's 510 Newton meters of torque will definitely lay you back in your seat upon hitting the accelerator pedal on a single charge the 90 kilowatt version will have a 185 mile range but even the smaller battery pack will take you up to 110 miles the durable steel chassis and low center of gravity make the Bison perfect for roaming the rugged backcountry viewed on the interior touchscreen its nine cameras provide a full view of your surroundings also sporting a comfortable well-appointed interior the Bison could be the best-kept secret in the competitive electric pickup market check out the optiflame an innovative set of aerodynamic extensions for truck trailers from international commercial vehicle company WABCO while other companies have introduced similar trailer extensions the opto flow system is the first aerodynamic trailer tail offered in the US to feature automatic deployment and retraction using speed detection sensors link to the WABCO trailers anti-lock braking systems the panels automatically deploy when the vehicle reaches 45 miles per hour the opt of flow tale streamlines the airflow over the trailer and maximizes fuel consumption the panels automatically retract as the truck slows to 10 miles per hour made for trailers with swing-out doors the opto float ale improves general maneuverability while requiring no driver interaction when used at highway speeds the panels can result in a fuel savings of up to four point three percent optional trailer skirts can also be added which can increase fuel savings to as much as nine percent for even more potential fuel savings Opta flow side wings are available in both long and short versions for trucking companies looking to control expenses the opto flow system can help optimize every mile driven presenting the tesla semi-truck an electric long hauler from Elon Musk and Tesla Motors stunningly beautiful inside and out both the Tesla semis high and low roof models are aerodynamically streamlined true to company tradition the Tesla semi was recently unveiled in spectacular fashion at a lavish gala in front of a huge throng of invited guests though normally closed the cab to trailer gap automatically opens for turns this contributes to its low drag coefficient of only 0.36 which even surpasses the 2.7 million dollar Bugatti Veyron supercars air resistance of 0.38 more impressive still is its sports car type acceleration of 0 to 60 miles per hour in only five seconds when not pulling alone even with over 80,000 pounds in tow the Tesla semi reaches the same speed in only 20 seconds on a 30-minute charge this truck can cover 500 miles while fully loaded advanced driver assistance features include lane keeping and automatic emergency braking with the Tesla semi and other new electric long haulers now being produced the future of trucking is right before our eyes now that the Tesla semi truck has been officially announced this incredible truck stands as a worthy Challenger meet the beautifully streamlined et1 from Los Angeles company Thor with it's totally electric power plant before et1 is capable of providing torque at zero rpm its 300 mile range applies even when pulling its maximum load of 80,000 pounds top speed is rated at 70 miles per hour like the Tesla semi the et one's relatively modest range means that it's engineered for mostly short hauls possibly because it's famous competitor already has an extended range version Thor plans to develop that option for the et1 as well as an electric vehicle the et1 creates no harmful emissions it's also claimed to be 60% cheaper to maintain per mile than a diesel semi-truck the et1 prototype was conceived designed and funded by co-founders Dakota Semler and geo Sedona who are currently seeking additional investors released to the public is planned for 2019 which of these trucks or truck technologies impressed you the most tell us in the comment section below remember you can now watch freeze lists in Spanish on our Spanish
