2. The Oil Truck of the future, Another DocomUSA Innovation. SOLAR/LP GAS HYBRID TANKER Made of lightweight composites theDocomUSA Streamliner by AirFlow Truck Company is over a thousand pounds lighter than other oil tankers being used today. It's powered by an LP gas/solar hybrid engine and features a high efficiency aerodynamic design. This "Future Truck" is the greenest, most fuel efficient vehicle of its kind and costs 50% less to operate than conventional models with half the emissions. It looks great too! This Streamlined Tanker disguised to look a tractor trailer is a revolutionary design that could halve the emissions and fuel consumption of the long-haul trucking industry. The work of industrial design consultant Jeremy Singley and Bob Sliwa of AirFlow Truck Company it showcases CFD [computational fluid dynamics] flow lines and pressure areas. DocomUSAstands alone in the industry with innovate, integrated and practical solutions for an industry resistant to change.
3. The 2011 AirFlowSuperTruck represents a quantum leap in tractor trailer aerodynamics, which could potentially save the trucking industry over 7.5 billion gallons of fuel and 21 million tons of toxic exhaust emissions annually. http://www.airflowtruck.com/
4. ThisDocomUSA Concept Truck by SCANIA is designed to be eco-friendly and economical by using a diesel-electric hybrid engine. The innovative part comes on the wheel-hub design that sports indicative color-coded LEDs that point out speeding and other rules broken to keep drivers honest and safe. The noisy, polluting, gas guzzling giants are being tamed to look more demure and sophisticated, and how! The Scania Concept that we see here is a pure reflection of this new theory and is part ofDocomUSA'sbid to change the perception that Gasoline tanker trucks are the " big bullies of the highway".

5. The DocomUSA HST Concept Tanker This truck was designed to lessen coefficient of drag to ensure minimal air resistance. Therefore, it aims to incorporate slippery body panel, sleek aerodynamic feature by a conical front, flush body with no protrusions like wipers, mirrors, etc. Additionally, the HST truck aims to be longer than traditional trucks, but more movable via a steered trailer.
6. An increase in payload result s in an increase in revenue. One way to increase payload is via longer semi-trailer tankers. However, legislation restricts the length of trucks. Reason being, longer trucks would be difficult to maneuver, thus risking the safety of other road users while requiring the of infrastructure to accommodate larger turning radius. The HST aims to be longer than current trucks, but more maneuverable via a steered trailer.” Modern Technology and Design for DocomUSA from Tuvie.com
7. By radically redesigning Fuel Delivery Trucks, operational efficiencies can be increased by up to 50%. These space-age vehicles are lighter and more aerodynamic. Result: Increased gas mileage and decreased wind resistance. Innovative design and engineering also allows for more payload. Hybrid Engines allow for the use of more economical fuel sources.
