Here is the futuristic truck concept which is fully Eco-friendly and have much power for running on the road with the amazing gadgets. It’s really useful for the other vehicle n the road ad when it’s standing in the mid of the party house. This really a mega Truck and energy efficient truck for the future. It has luxurious cabins in it with the kitchen also. Have a look Hope you all like that.
Energy Efficient Super Truck for Future
The Innotruck is the creation of the Technical University of Munich’s Diesel Reloaded project, which aims to ‘demonstrate how paradigm shifts in automotive, energy and information technologies can help to address major societal trends and needs.’That’s the Innotruck it’s not the next Thunderbird, it’s hi-tech. The wonderful technology used for the energy efficiency.The zero-emissions power-train is governed by a ‘micro smart grid’. A system that manages energy flow from the truck’s batteries, as well as the on-board solar cells, wind turbines and regenerative braking system.The Innotruck gets an all-electric power-train. there’s no steering wheel, instead the Innotruck gets two joystick controls.There’s a place to grab some food. This Innotruck’s utilities are a little more sophisticated than your average truck .There’s a full-size kitchen , complete with an LCD TV. We’re not sure this would feature if the Innotruck made it to production though, given its impact on load space.How it can benefit other vehicles?
The Innotruck can also recharge other EVs when stopped, through dedicated electrical outlets, Small electric cars can plug into the Innotruck to receive a charge boost. Having an internal power source, it could also be used to supply energy at events and festivals. This is a traveling Electric House Too.

Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk says he wants to shift 5,000 examples of the new Model S electric saloon this year and four times that in 2013. It's a very ambitious target so, naturally, any endorsement is more than welcome; especially if it comes from the nation’s largest auto retailer. Labeling it, “a first-rate car” and “the best electric car I've ever driven", does the job nicely, thank you. That’s exactly what AutoNation Inc. CEO Mike Jackson said after driving the car during his visit to a showroom near Tesla’s HQ on August 15, according to a Bloomberg News report. “The Model S has very good design, fit and finish is good, driving dynamics are good”, said Jackson. He did point out, though, that as with all EVs, price will be the limiting factor in the sales front. “Electric vehicles, all-in, when we’re sitting here three years from now, are still less than 1 percent of the market. They’re very expensive,” he added. The base model, which starts at US$57,400, has a 160-mile (257 km) range, while the price skyrockets to US$105,400 for the “Signature” variant that can do 300 miles (480 km) on a single charge. Any way you slice it, even throwing in the US$7,500 federal tax rebate that brings the base price just below the $50k mark, that’s a lot of cash. Musk must be smiling smugly, though, as Jackson added that the Model S is better than the Fisker Karma: “Some people love the styling, some people think it’s a bit baroque, but the dynamics are not as good (as the Model S)”, said Jackson who also drove the Karma last week. Fisker, which has to deal with a new recall due to a fire hazard as well as to unfreeze the Energy Department loan allocated to building its new Delaware factory, probably won't be cheering. You can also watch a video from Inside Line testing the Tesla Model S right after the jump.
