The German brand says its Concept S design study could slash emissions by a whopping 25 per cent, which would also mean substantially lower fuel bills.
MAN says the streamlined design of its prime mover "differs radically from today's typically cube-shaped trucks". It spent a lot of time in the wind tunnel adjusting the design to make it as `slippery' as possible, cutting drag.
The company says the sleek design means the truck has extremely low wind resistance, similar to that of a modern passenger limousine. MAN says the problem with the Concept S is that is longer than existing prime movers and that would mean less room for freight in countries that have strict length restrictions.
It says that such rules would need to be altered if aerodynamically friendly truck designs are to be introduced onto our roads.
