Designer Details Of Volvo’s Truck Concept 2020

If you are a Volvo fanatic, then this news is tailor made for you, and even if you are not, you surely will be interested in knowing about Volvo’s truck concept 2020. So here it goes, recently, the Design Director of Volvo Trucks Corporation (a different company from Geely-owned Volvo Cars), Mr. Rikard Orell, provided some of really amazing details of its Concept Truck 2020.

With Volvo’s Concept Truck 2020 details we came to know that the one idea that Volvo is exploring with its concept is of “auto-pilot” for commercial trucks. This will let the driver relax as the truck moves ahead at a steady pace of 56 mph. But that’s just not it, what’s even more startling is the fact that this technique will have trucks following each other in a convoy, with the help of wireless communications. Trucks not only will be maintaining safe distance and speed, but could actually place themselves in each other’s slipstream. Adapting this technique will certainly enhance the fuel economy of the trucks and will automatically reduce the carbon emissions.

Further we came to know that the Volvo Concept Trucks 2020 will be a lot safer in the event of a head-on collision. This could be attributed to its newly designed jutting from the front “bumper”, it not only is designed aerodynamically for enhancing the fuel economy for the truck, but at the same time will absorb impacts more “tenderly” for plummeting injuries.

Lastly, the driver’s cabin for Volvo Concept Trucks 2020 will be redesigned for enhancing not only driver’s visibility but also their comfort level. A lot of glass has been used around the cabin to make it easy for the driver to be aware of its environs and traffic conditions, at the same time it will allow a lot more eye contact with other drivers on the road.

The rearview mirrors of the conventional trucks will be replaced by cameras in Volvo Concept Trucks 2020. These cameras will project the image on the front windshield of the truck to make it easy for the driver to view them. Finally, the conventional dashboard will be replaced by a panel which will have control functions that are found on touchpads. Each of the controls here can be customized to match driver’s style and habit.
