How To Design A SuperTruck

Designing and developing a super-efficient and super-sleek prototype and research truck, like SuperTruck II, requires a special dance of collaboration and creativity that the designers and engineers at Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) are well familiar with.

Launched in 2016, SuperTruck II is the Energy Department’s second investment in next-generation technologies, with a focus on cost-effective solutions to more than double freight efficiency in trucking. SuperTruck II is a DTNA research and development program co-funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a tractor-trailer combination using a suite of technologies including active aerodynamics, advanced engine combustion with enhanced air handling and intercooling and hybridization. It is DTNA’s second time participating in a SuperTruck initiative and allows the manufacturer to investigate high-risk, high-reward technologies to clear the technical pathway for their development and potential integration in series production. The goal is to develop commercially viable solutions that benefit the customer. Particularly, within the transformation from clean diesel combustion engines to battery-electric transportation, DTNA sees potential to improve energy efficiency even further.

Albertans To Get Relief For Fuel And Utility Costs

Alberta’s government will stop the collection of the provincial fuel tax to offer Albertans relief from current high fuel prices. Currently, Albertans pay 13 cents per litre in fuel tax. This change will come into effect April 1.
