The Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience is a tractor-trailer combination that features leading edge aerodynamics, an advanced turbine-powered range extending series hybrid powertrain, electrified auxiliary components, and sophisticated control systems all in one package, developed in support of the company’s industry-leading sustainability program.

Glad to see they're spending money on trucks and not better employees.

Also, the truck is designed to carry more weight. That means WalMart doesn't have to have as many loads, so they can save money. Also, many drivers think that the truck would be seriously underpowered. Saves on diesel, but when one of those trucks is chugging a full load up a mountain on the interstate and the most it can go is 15 mph, that creates a hazard for all drivers.

Amazon is flying purchases to your doorstep and this is how Walmart responds?
No wonder they are dying.

They need to showcase a cart that doesn't pull to the right.

How about some new shopping carts?

It looks like the concept cars that you never actually see make it to production.

Anyone think it's dumb how a stupid aerodynamic design means futuristic?

they are innovating to reduce costs and it is commendable.
