Yet again another concept design I have come across, this time it's for trucks. The Scania truck concept is a futuristic, eco-friendly design by Adam Palethorpe, who aims to give trucks a whole new demeanor on the road.

Challenging the original perception of trucks as having harsh-to-the-eye exteriors and aggressive drivers, the Scania concept shows the truck with a smooth white coating and demonstrates its diesel-electric hybrid engine, giving it that environmentally friendly appeal.

However, the futuristic element of the concept does not just lie in the visual and eco-friendly aspect of the truck, but more-so with the wheel technology. The colour-coded LEDs installed over the wheels, help indicate the speeding habits of the driver (See first reply below for closer look).
