Who will be the first to trade their truck in for one of these? lol

They certainly look different, but I don't think so.

Look a a profile. They're cab-overs. In other countries that do not have the same quality roads that we have, that design is fine. Here, most of the highways are designed for more space, and can accommodate a longer chassis. Companies here went away from COE to conventional tractors to attract drivers. I do not see a lot of acceptance of a COE no matter how fancy they make it.

They look like giant dildo's

That, or the tiberium harvesters from the Command and Conquer games.

They look like something from a cartoon. Or some science-fiction movie.

They talked about this truck on the discovery channel. It's supposed to get some crazy MPG. Something like 15 mpg loaded. I would drive a giant dildo if it made me that kind of money and I was an OO.

LOL

Better yet... they look like aliens. The windshield looks like a big eyeball.

What's funny to me, there isn't side windows. I guess you will be looking through that big round window.

look at the windshield wipers....their like a fan.

LOL.... I'm glad you explained that! I was wondering what the heck they needed a big "watch face" on them for??!! I thought it was 9:04:25!!

The one on the right looks like the monster from Tremors

That is a very strange looking truck. I saw one that looked similar on a TV show a few years ago. It had a helicopter that could be launched from the top of the truck. I would love to see some interiors of the truck.

There are more pics at that link, but I dont think they show the inside of the trucks.

That looks eerily like something I saw in Overdrive magazine about 13-14 years ago. There was also a replacement cab called the Pegasus for COE's that was made by someone around that time in an effort to get better mileage. I don't know if I'd want to drive something like that either, especially given the close coupling between tractor and trailer.

I can see the logic of the aerodynamic lines and almost fish-like curvatures, but I'm with Angel-- how's the thing supposed to "bend" for maneuvering? NOTHING touches my fairings!!!!!
I'd like to see something like that with a connection more like the movement of the head of a ratchet wrench. Then, with my "bendability" restored, I'd LOVE to get that kind of fuel economy!

That was something I was thinking of too. You're making a corner into a driveway, there's a dip at the edge of the street, and your tractor is leaning left, while the trailer is leaning right. Full rubber fairings?
