At present the tendency to draw inspiration from the nature is quite popular. So wise designers like Haishang Deng try to find innovational solutions by studying what nature has already done. An absolutely new Chameleon truck was designed just in the same way.
His invention represents a bionic cargo transport that uses an innovative segmented body remarkably like that of a centipede. This enables the truck to adjust its size to the cargo load. In addition to the fact that the resilient soft tarpaulin shelled body is strong enough to protect its cargo, it also absorbs impacts in case of accidents. Moreover due to the materials used in its production the weight of this truck is twice smaller than that of its counterparts, and as a consequence it saves a lot of fuel. Another innovative design feature is the driver cockpit which can be lifted upward, i.e. over its cargo, instead of being built into the frame like in most vehicles today. This feature enables automated front loading without the need for additional support.
As far as the design of this truck is concerned I would say that it is as modern as possible. Yet some long-distance truck drivers may say that it’s too innovate. Nevertheless I think that just in 5-10 years trucks like this will make up the majority.
