A California EV startup unveiled a fully electric semi-truck called 'TORQ' to compete with Tesla and Hyundai
Parts of the body can be detached and attached, making it easier to expand the cargo hold and "functionality," according to its maker.
The body has also been optimized for an “aerodynamic profile.”
There’s a sleeper cabin with a shell for more silence. It also comes with surround sound system, storage space, internet, and a “plush” bed.
There's a wireless camera which provides a 360-degree view that's sent to the driver's screen, therefore increasing the driver's awareness of the TORQ's position.
The driver's seat is in the center, allowing for a more "engaging" drive and increased visibility and handling.
The automaker claims TORQ requires less maintenance because the durable electric motors have less moving parts than internal combustion engines and are easier to replace.
Neuron is also planning a Renewable Energy Plaza — shortened to REP — where drivers can receive maintenance and battery exchange assistance, as well as charge their vehicles. There will also be a center for entertainment, food, and beverages.
"The Neuron EV TORQ is the ultimate realization of Neuron's philosophy of simplicity and functionality," the automaker wrote in a statement. "They're easy to use, universally relevant, and upgradeable to the latest technology for efficient waste reduction and versatility optimization."
The interface can be linked to any personal device, allowing for full operational control while in use. This eliminates any "clutter" on the dashboard.
The semi-truck was also built with the possibility for future self-driving capabilities.
