MERCEDES BENZ
FUTURE TRUCK 2025
THE FUTURE TRUCK USES A FIELD OF LEDS FOR
ILLUMINATION RATHER THAN TRADITIONAL HEADLIGHTS.
WHEN IN NORMAL DRIVING MODE,
THE LEDS PROVIDE
NORMAL ILLUMINATION;
ORANGE LEDS BURIED IN THE BODY WORK AS TURN SIGNALS.
IN AUTONOMOUS MODE, THE LIGHTS CHANGE COLORS AND
PULSE SLOWLY.
MERCEDES SAYS THE EXTERIOR HELPS MINIMIZE DRAG
AND IMPROVE
FUEL EFFICIENCY.
DRIVERS OF THE FUTURE TRUCK CAN CONTROL ITS
FUNCTIONS
WITH A TOUCHPAD WHEN ITS IN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING MODE.

THE SEAT ALSO SWIVELS 45 DEGREES IN THE SPARE,
LUXURIOUS CABIN, BECAUSE THE DRIVER
SO OFTEN WILL NOT NEED TO STEER.
THE CABIN LOOKS MORE LIKE AN OFFICE IN AN
UPSCALE CONDO
THAN THE CABS OF TODAY.
MERCEDES SAID IT DID AWAY WITH MANY OF THE
GAUGES
ON TODAY'S SEMIS TO EMPHASIZE ITS TECHNOLOGY.

THE SEATING/SLEEPING AREA RESEMBLES A
FIRST-CLASS
PLANE CABIN, WITH DIGITAL PICTURE FRAMES.
MERCEDES-BENZ FUTURE TRUCK 2025
THE TRUCK USES A SERIES OF RADARS, CAMERAS AND
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS TO NAVIGATE
ITSELF ON THE HIGHWAY, WITHOUT
THE NEED FOR A
VEHICLE AHEAD TO LEAD IT.
