Will future #trucks look more like transformers or are designers getting carried away?

Lightweight compounds and a move to alternative drives will remove the need for conventional designs, to house diesel engines and gearboxes! Thoughts?

"My truck parked on 6 June 2019 at Membury services, where on D-Day, 6 June 1944, 90 Dakota aircraft took off - loaded with Airborne troops of the USA bound for Normandy, to rid the world of the Nazi.

Time to reflect and thank them all for their service" - John Johnson.

Thank you for sending us this photo John.

EDIT: We received the 2nd photograph this morning and wanted to share. The photo shows the 82nd Airborne troop going to their planes to be parachuted into France on D-Day. Fantastic picture! Thanks again John. ... See MoreSee Less
