The best daily transportation isn’t a car/truck at all, but there is still some need for freight/hauling to be done.
I’m posting because this truck feels like the opposite of modern trucks. I mean the CyberTruck (literally the icon of Cyberpunk dystopia) and other trucks like Rivian are:
- extremely anti-right to repair
- brag about their 0-60 (instead of practicality/efficiency)
- a privacy nightmare
- massive in size
- have high prices across the board
- are absolutely crammed with manadory luxury features like air conditioned seats or motorized trunks
This truck, with manual roll-up windows, seems to be about getting work done. Its not trying to be the biggest baddest fastest most-techo-advanced thing money can buy.
I bet, in less than 1 year, hobbyists will have solar panel array mounted on the back of these.
I’m less excited about this truck specifically as much as the idea of affordable economy vehicles with no-frills making a comeback.
So exciting to see that this might start making some changes. I would be very happy to see European-style small cars that are simple and just made to get you from one place to another. It doesn’t need to be an identity thing.
Of course, public transit is better but light trucks would be a good start I suppose. Won’t save the environment but might save lives in accidents
Have you ever heard of Dacia?
