FUTURE TRUCKS ? * Canada

* 1. The Bionic Chameleon Truck

Canada -Yanko Design, by Long Tran -February 7, 2008: -- The Chameleon Truck... This bionic cargo transport uses an innovative segmented body remarkably like that of a centipede... This enables the truck to adjust its size to the cargo load... The resilient soft tarpaulin shelled body is strong enough to protect its cargo but also absorbs impacts in case of accidents. As an added benefit fuel savings abound since the truck’s weight is slashed in half...Another innovative design feature is the drive cockpit which cranes over its cargo instead of being built into the frame like most vehicles today. This enables automated front loading without the need for additional support...

* 2. Move Over Tonka

Canada -Yanko Design, by Long Tran -February 4, 2008: -- Tipper trucks haven’t change much in the last century so designer Haishan Deng took it upon himself to create the Super Tipper Truck... Current tipper trucks can only unload their cargo one way. This usually requires the driver to maneuver ever so carefully.
With the Super Tipper, door access on all four sides allow it to dump its junk in any direction... Of course it wouldn’t be an improved construction vehicle without more power and the Super Tipper leaves non disappointed. Each set of wheels has its own motor and independent suspension - you know, for those awkward incline angles... I can’t wait for the UltraMega Tipper Truck!
