Shell and Airflow made a truck of the future called Starship Initiative

The mineral oil producer Shell has launched the "Starship Initiative" together with the US manufacturer Airflow Truck.

A demonstration model of the huge, about 24-meter-long monster of the heavy US class 8 was presented in Atlanta in 2018 but the project first became known in 2015. The outer skin of the truck has been specially made of carbon fiber to form an aerodynamic shell. This should reduce air resistance and reduce fuel consumption.
