Daimler Truck has pulled a set of long-range design studies out of its development centers, and none of them are coming to a dealership. The project sits inside the company's "130 Years of Forward" anniversary program, marking 130 years since the first truck.
Designers from Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Freightliner, Setra and BharatBenz each sketched a different piece of freight transport as they imagine it by 2070. The studies range from robotic maintenance systems to a Zeppelin-inspired passenger airship, and Daimler Truck is upfront that they are exploratory.
