The Atropos, a heavy-duty truck with a full-sized bed

Atropos-sleeper-truck-by-Peter-Azzouni.jpg
Alabama-based designer Peter Azzouni has a futuristic truck concept called the Atropos that will certainly make a few long-haul truckers feel better: the front seat spreads out flat like a bed. It's got plenty of room to unfurl thanks to the spacious, cylindrical cabin, which also gives the truck a decidedly futuristic appearance, coupled with that heavy, rounded beak it's got.

Azzouni also stresses the important of green design and, if this truck is ever produced, would like to see it take full advantage of hybrid technologies and alternative fuels.

That looks too phallic.

I definitely do think that the trucking industry will need to look into updating their trucks over the next decade if they want to be able to compete and survive.

It looks like they have taken a complete care for the truck driver. But the looks of the truck is huge.
