If you people have any plans to be at this years Michelin Design Challenge coupled with the fact that you have an inclination towards hardwearing vehicles then the Volvo camp is the place where you got to be.
The Volvo BeeVan from the Volvo trucks of North America previously displayed at the Detroit Auto Show will deservedly be displayed again at this years Michelin Design Challenge.
Safety being the utmost priority of the maker this truck sports a unique driver’s cockpit, which unlike all traditional vehicles is located right at the heart of the trucks cab. It enables the driver to have a 180-degree visibility and the blind spots are done away with the help of remote vision cameras.
Dual armrest console are thoroughly equipped with modern doodads and they make facilities viz. lane tracking, vehicle proximity censoring and driver drowsiness detection available at your fingertips.
The whole truck is loaded with high-tech features and few conventional RV features like the sleeper berths, dinette table etc. The door slides backwards and even the stairs are retractable ensuring aerodynamism.
The technology incorporated is supremely advanced yet so true and applicable in practical terms that it wont be wrong to say that this concept can make it to the production floor provided the traffic authorities sanction a driving console located in the center and not the left .
