Walmart’s New Vehicle Concept

OK, raise your hands if you really thought Walmart was developing its own concept vehicle.

Me, either.  But they were, and they have.  Their new creation is called the WAVE (Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience), and it represents their vision of the future of trucking.

What looks like a corvette on steroids is, according to Walmart, 20% more aerodynamic than their current fleet trucks.  Part of the aerodynamics boost comes from moving the driver to the center of the vehicle, F1 style.  Additional gains come from making the entire trailer from carbon fiber.
