Innotruck - New generation multi-purpose truck

At the end of November last year, Mercedes introduced the new-generation Aero Trailer truck in a truck show in Belgium. Aero Trailer is designed beautifully and efficiently with the ability to reduce wind resistance by 18%, equivalent to 5% reduction in fuel consumption. However, it is still nothing compared to the new generation Innotruck multi-purpose truck introduced last month in Germany.

Innotruck is considered a strange machine, researched and manufactured by the Technical University of Munich (Germany). Innotruck is the perfect combination of transport trucks and multi-purpose vehicles, between technology and design, to meet a wide range of needs.

Innotruck was designed by Professor Luigi Colani with an aerodynamic design, the specially designed front end looks more like an airplane than a truck. The car is equipped with the most advanced technologies such as drive-by-wire system (electric sensor on gas pedal instead of normal physical structure), car-to-car communication technology, car-to -infrastructure (allows vehicles with the ability to exchange information about potential road hazards, other important information with nearby vehicles and infrastructure) and many other automated applications .

Interior design is simple but fully equipped

Managing energy resources on the car is also one of the highlights. Like a micro-smart grid, the car can manage energy sources and coordinate properly from battery, solar, wind turbines and energy recovery systems when braking KERS. Another special feature is the ability to charge other vehicles when parked next to and even release electricity to the city electricity network.

Innotruck is a new generation multi-purpose truck that can be used to transport goods and can be used as a mobile home for picnics. With the most modern equipment, renewable energy sources, innotruck can really accommodate long distance trips in a very comfortable way.
