hugh.. i think it's ugly.
I prefer normal trucks.
I have to admit....I like it.
Wow that's trippy. At first I thought he meant truck in the american sense, but after looking at some of these i think it'd be cool to see one on the road. Better than the current semi's (lorries, etc.) out there. I especially like the one with the 3 rotating windshield wipers.
they all have rotating wind screen wipers, i like the shapes of these but the windscreen is jumt rubbish, i wonder what would happen if i wer to smash that - would it fold in or shatter ?
Interesting and probably the Shape of Things to Come...
A Bit "Ugly for Sure" and I wonder how Efficient it is?...
If nothing else it will show up in the next 4 or 5 Sci-Fi Movies that we haven't seen yet...
Wow, I can claim to have peaked at what trucks will look like in 100 years. Very futuristic concept and looks very efficient on overcoming drag.
Eeww.. interesting, but surely ugly.
Using the same style, but a lot prettier are the instruments made by basslab
Those are beauties.
I was obsessed with semi-trucks growing-up as a kid, and I remember having a book about them that showed a prototype Chevy truck from sometime in the 50's or 60's which looked very similar to these. To me, these designs are not anything new.
Is it a truck ?
Is it a car ?
Is it a train ?
Is it a Space Ship ?

Hate these for the same reason I hate cabovers. What happens when you hit something? Looks like a whole lotta "ouch " to me. Good for show not for go.
Cool! i cant wait to see those on the street!
beautiful!
I would kill for that truck
In a truck like that the driver would be the first one at the scene of an accident.
as a truck driver myself, I can say that I would hesitate to put a Pamela Anderson poster in the back of this truck's cabin. Well, maybe the poster of Reina Borg, or Princess Leia...
Maybe just a bit overdone. But American semis have really horrible aerodynamics, they can easily up their milage with little work.
Hahaha...yeah when I first read trucks I was thinking the typical pickup truck not semi. As out there as they look, I kinda like them. This front view picture does not do them justice. The 1/4 side view is a much better vantage point. And I like how the space between the cab and trailer is at a minimum.
The windshield looks crazy, but there's got to be a functional purpose for it. From the looks of it, the driver can see what's directly in front of the vehicle, such as pedestrians.
If that goofy windshield means more visibility, I'm for it. Also, in a collision with anything shorter than the windshield (cars, for example), its odd shape might not be a concern.
I'm talking out my ass, though. I'm no engineer.
UGLY!
I wonder w/ the air dynamic design if it saves fuel in the long run. With gas prices and competition, you could save quite a lot of money.
seen years ago...

I really got very ecxited to seeing such beautiful trucks and I wish I could use them one day But I'm Iranian and not only can use them but my own country trucks!
Colani studied aerodynamics, in 1981 he presented a Citroen 2CV with 1.71 L/100km, only by aerodynamic modifications: a living guru of aero efficiency. Ergonomics is his second obsession: a designer casting vision in useable things, from supersonic planes to beer glasses. I always liked his stuff. Search for his name on Wikipedia!
Colani states that this aerodynamic form reduces fuel consumption by 50%
Oh that's not so bad looking. Sure it's weird, but it looks European, which is fine.
dont understood that truck..
these are interesting. I'd like to see pictures of the interior of the trucks, though.
i saw one of these in tennessee a couple of weeks ago. are the available now or what was it doin?
The interior and could not look any more (yaaaawwnn) BORING!!!! What a disappointment.This is a true let down. It looks nothing like the sketch drawing.
Jest super!!
semi spaceship is more like it....
Hi to all
How can you buy one? and where?
