WAVE (Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience) concept truck,
. . . as part of a broader push to incorporate sustainability,
. . . into the megastore’s operations.
WAVE’s trailer is made out of carbon fiber,
. . . which reduced the weight of the big rig by 4,000 pounds per vehicle.
It will be 20% more aerodynamic than the current fleet, and
. . . will use a “micro-turbine hybrid powertrain” that can run on:
. . . . . . Diesel,
. . . . . . Natural Gas,
. . . . . .Biodiesel, and
. . . “probably other fuels still to be developed.”
