The food company has built a environmentally friendly truck Bashny.Net

The curious case of the invasion of the world of the automotive business a representative of a particular sector of trade relations was recorded by the reporters of the Western media. The world's largest supplier of food products, Walmart, suddenly turned into a carmaker (presumably temporarily), announced in a worldwide network of conceptual semi-trailer truck called the Wave.



In the press release does not specify who of the world famous brands provided the brand assistance in the development and construction of the concept, but the noise on the Internet, the novelty has done a lot. Why: the Walmart representatives described the concept as a prototype of the sustainable truck of the future, which has no analogues.

Indeed, the manufacturer (although in this case appropriate term "customer" — it is doubtful that Walmart has organized a project alone) did everything possible to make conceptual Wave as can consume less fuel and "smoked" into the atmosphere. It is clear that it was not without a hybrid powertrain, although the Walmart her attention not focused. According to insiders, in the engine Bay Wave is a unit composed of turbo-diesel engine and electric motor. But the material body and cabin developers told in detail. They became carbon. Because structurally, the Walmart Wave is made in the form of a tractor with attached 16-foot trailer, on this day, the concept became the world's largest car object is made of carbon panels. According to the creators, at the expense of carbon fiber, they managed to lighten the truck from 2 tonne compared to cars in this class.

Lack of innovation and in the cockpit Wave: it is extravagant on the outside, but inside the driver is in the seat right in the center, while the instrument panel replaced two large screen located on either side of the steering wheel. A wide windshield curved concept so that half goes on the roof of the cabin. Of course, the Walmart Wave is conceived not more than a show-car in serial form, such a truck would cost as several Rolls-Royce models. However, his interest in the problem of environmental pollution, the company Walmart has demonstrated – and at the same time and attracted the attention of the world community.
