I applaud the effort to clean up the air but I will not support any tattletale devices to clean up someone's act. Programs have flaws... and last I checked, so do humans. I don't understand this world anymore... Make this world a better place for future generations by attempting to rectify past and present crimes against nature... yet we are consistently dehumanizing every possible interaction with a fellow human being and promoting an air of distrust. Guilty until proven innocent, dear... and this here red LED claims you haven't been a law abiding citizen. For shame. Bah... fuck all of you holier than thou, asshats that preach about cleaning up our environment yet are too fearful of your own neighbor to do anything but to avoid eye contact and MAYBE give a half hearted hello if you feel like making the slightest bit of effort that day... you make me want to strip naked, retreat into the forest and forget all of this.

What should be done is the cost of fuel dropped to allow British Hauliers to compete in the European market hence reducing the cost of haulage, reducing the amount of foreign vehicles on UK roads which in turn will reduce accidents in the uk involving Hgvs be 30%. This will also reduce the cost of living in the UK because as stated before everything you have has been on a truck.

Regarding the cooling of the breaks, maybe you can put here some pictures. I'm so curious about. Keep up the good work. I'm waiting that day when a designer will do a project respecting the trucker needs, I saw too many designs just for the sake of designing a truck and nothing more.

Keep up the good work. I’m waiting that day when a designer will do a project respecting the trucker needs, I saw too many designs just for the sake of designing a truck and nothing more.

As the Wife of a Lorry Driver I should know. For all those calling for an end to lorries I personally would like to see you survive without them. My husband has been a Trucker for 15 years and loves his job, but unfortunately foreign drivers give the job a bad name. I personally couldn't see this design working in real life, lorry drivers wouldnt want to drive it or work for a company with them, the flashing lights are a silly idea thats what tachos and driver cards are for.

It was a project over a couple of months from start to finish so you cant expect a fully working concept, even the biggest manufacturers cant do that! Ride height is adjustable, the image shows it so low as it is more dramatic. The wheel covers have become quite a debating point across the net, which is good for me. If you're insisting that the brakes would not be cooled, there are cooling ducts at the front of the vehicle that allow air to reach the brakes for cooling. I'm glad you like the style, that is mainly what i was going for, as far as production readiness goes, the concept is obviously a large way off, but after all it is a student project and my first truck design.

Very nice concept. As a designer, I'm amazed. As a trucker ... I don't want to be bad but makes me laughing. What you designed it's only for trucking shows. An example. It's good to be preoccupied by the safety. But with that wheel covers, in downhill that truck will kill 100 cars. With that low bumper, the driver will slow down all the time to avoid to break it. This means late delivery. And I can give you a lot of examples. Do you want to be a real truck designer??? Try to live like a trucker. In the same idea is the legislation of trucking, made by office rats who doesn't know how many wheels a truck has... Don't try to put the wagon in upfront of the horses. Anyway, I like your style. Luke, for the future of the Earth, please, take a vasectomy. Because of drivers like you, we are not safe on the road. I can bet all my money you are driving with at 80km/h on the highway and when a truck is passing you, you wake up and increase the speed. Without trucks you would be dead in a few days. Hi, Adam.
