Iveco's Zero-impact concept truck anticipates the shift to
green energy and autonomous driving in long-distance
haulage.
LONDON, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Iveco, a
brand of CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), presented its world
premiere IVECO Z TRUCK at the 2016 IAA Show in Hannover, Germany. IAA is the commercial
vehicle industry's leading international trade show, taking place

every constraint to be a Zero-impact vehicle for a totally

The IVECO Z TRUCK concept, designed in collaboration by CNH
Industrial's Design Center and Innovation department, takes a step
into the future by anticipating the way alternative energy, new
technologies and automated driving will change the role of a
driver. It is shaped by its enhanced aerodynamics, improved safety
and the aim of creating a new living cab space. Its pioneering
approach has resulted in this concept being protected by 29
patents.
It is based on a heavy truck running on Bio-LNG (Liquefied
Natural Gas) with conformable tanks, enhanced aerodynamics and a
waste heat recovery system, to deliver long-haul transport with
autonomy of 2,200 kilometers and virtually zero CO2
emissions.
The Zero concept carries through to other elements of the truck
including Zero accidents through the advanced use of automated
driving technologies, which defines how new technologies and
autonomous driving will change the role of the driver into an
on-board logistics operator.
The driver-centered design aims to achieve Zero stress and Zero
waste of time. The cab is freed from traditional constraints to be
reconfigured according to the different uses (driving, automated
driving, office work, rest) and the HMI (Human Machine Interface)
to adapt the way it provides information as needed – the right
information, at the right time, in the right place.
