Behold...the future. (Or not). Browsing through the Biglorryblog collection of the weird and the wonderful I found myself drawn (like a moth to a large, incredibly bright and very expensive halogen headlight unit on a Volvo FH13) to these various glimpses into the future. Will you be driving one of these in 10 or 15 years time. More importantly, would you WANT to be driving one of these in 10 years time? And whatever happened to rhetoric questions?
However, in no particular order of merit I bring you the Daf XFC or eXtreme Future Concept from RIK (whoever he is-but probably one of the Cloggies bright young designers).
Next we have the Mercedes 'F1 Truck' from that nice man Mr Bertrand, doyen of truck designers...Now we have the Volvo BeeVan from North America. Crazy name...crazy truck.
Now click through here to see two 'trucks of the future' that you definitely WON'T be getting!
Ahhh yes. The famous Luigi Colani concept trucks from the late 80s and early 90s. The one on the left was based (I think) on a Daf, the one of the right on a Mercedes. And why does BLB say you won't be driving them in the future? Because if they were 'the future' then, we'd be driving them now, 15 years later...it's called logic. I don't expect you all to understand.
Meanwhile, do you have a favourite 'truck of the future'? if so send me a picture and I'll post it up!
