Arrival Limited delivery vans are nice and smooth looking, but sort of blocky, no tapering of the roof or sides.
Right after I did my city truck rant, I had the idea that the electric Cummins could be more of a suburban delivery vehicle. With jumping on the highway doing 70mph, followed by going down secondary streets at 45 mph and zipping into a big box parking lot, and never hitting a 25-35 mph zone.
Aerodynamics could play an important role in a suburban truck.
Still puzzled by the 5th wheel trailer aspect.
Maybe there is a new transportation hub to go with it, featuring pre-loaded trailers, a route laid out by computer and so forth.
