The 2006 Colani SuperTruck, designed by Luigi Colani and sponsored by Siemens, exemplifies Colani's radical rethinking of commercial truck design. Based on a Mercedes-Benz Actros, this concept featured a hyper-aerodynamic form with an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.3, achieved by fully integrating the cab with the trailer. This streamlining reduced fuel consumption to just 20 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. The truck’s front featured an aircraft-inspired nose that slid forward to allow cabin access, while an advanced autonomous trolley system managed steering below the cabin. The SuperTruck highlights Colani’s commitment to efficiency and sustainability, envisioning a future for heavy-duty vehicles that harmonizes high performance with aerodynamic ingenuity.
