Walmart, whose fleet includes 6,500 trucks, 55,000 trailers and employs 7,000 drivers, announced in 2005 that it intended to double fleet efficiency by 2015. According to the company, fleet efficiency has increased by 84% since that announcement. The Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience, or WAVE, is the company’s latest step towards that goal. While no official fuel economy figures have been provided, it is expected that the truck’s light weight construction, hybrid turbine drivetrain and advanced aerodynamics will provide significant savings. It was developed in conjunction with Peterbilt, Capstone Turbine, and Great Dane Trailer.
More than anything for Wal-Mart, the WAVE is a means to shake up the way things are done in the trucking industry. “It may never actually make it to the road, but it will allow us to test new technologies and new approaches,” Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon told Wired. Here are just some of the groundbreaking features found in the WAVE: Designed in conjunction with Peterbilt, the WAVE’s svelte shape gives it a 20% reduction in aerodynamic drag over Walmart’s current fleet of Peterbilt Model 386 trucks. According to Bill Kahn, Manager of Advanced Concepts at Peterbilt, the 20% reduction in drag equates to a 10% increase in fuel economy. The WAVE’s revolutionary microturbine, developed by Capstone Turbine, is capable of running on natural gas and other fuels all the while producing virtually no emissions. As a result, the microturbine does not require the exhaust scrubbers and chemical treatments that conventional diesel engines use. The microturbine operates using air bearing technology and air cooling which allows the truck to forego the need for heavy lubrication and liquid cooling systems.
The WAVE’s advance hybrid drive system is programmed to find the most efficient balance between its turbine and electric drivetrains. The hybrid system functions in 3 modes: charge mode, electric vehicle mode and hybrid electric mode. The truck will select the most efficient mode automatically or via manual inputs from the driver. The centerpiece of the WAVE’s tapered front end is its central seating position. The design, which borrows its aesthetics from open-wheel racing, affords the driver greater visibility. The futuristic cockpit also features fully customizable digital displays, a fold out bed and sliding driver’s door. The WAVE’s trailer attachment, manufactured by Great Dane Trailers, incorporates a slew of innovative design elements. Most notably the one-piece 53 foot long carbon fiber panels that make up the trailer’s roof and sidewalls. The trailer’s carbon fiber construction makes it more 4000 lbs lighter than a conventional unit.

Bug Off screen door notes: Single door and sliding door screens all open in the center. French door screens open in the center of one door only, but are reversible to accommodate either door An adjustable spring tension rod is included with each screen and installs into one of the two tunnels at the top of the screen. The rod is made of extruded aluminum and is powder coated black to resist the elements. The rod allows you to quickly install and remove the Bug Off Instant Screen Door without damaging your door frame. A second tunnel for height adjustment is sewn into the screen and allows you to install Bug Off on shorter doors. Install the rod into the first tunnel for 80" doors, or install the rod into the second tunnel for 78"- 79" doors. The center opening overlaps 2" allowing the screen to snap closed behind you, using gravity and the center and bottom magnets as the closing force.
This design also allows you to walk through the center opening with ease. Center magnets are sewn onto the screen to allow hands-free entry and exit. Pets can go in and out without assistance, so you don't have to let them out. Bug Off should not be used if you do not want pets or small children to go outside.

A white adhesive hook (which attaches to the doorjamb) is already attached to the loop that is sewn onto the screen. Bottom weights and magnets have been sewn into the screen to weight and close the bottom.
Weather resistant webbing has been sewn to the bottom of Bug Off Screen for added durability.

Wolf & Moon Products, Inc. 36" W x 80" H Reviews 1 - 10 of 110 As a 114 lb 68 year old woman w/limited upper body strength & a still healing shattered wrist - I'll say this was remarkably easy to put up myself! It is made of high quality materials & fits perfectly. Should have ordered one years ago. Now if I can only get my cat to watch the video & see how easily other pets walk back & forth thru it... I purchased this product called bug off screen door looks just like this one purchased in a catalog Ive had it over 7 years. paid about 44 dollars with shipping -worth every penny I like these because of the rod at the top. I don't need to ask anyone to install it for me, and it is easy to move somewhere else since I don't attach it to the door jam at all.
When I attach it, the big guys in the house push through it roughly and it ruins the attachments. But, at least I don't have to attach it at the top. . .that would probably be ruined also. I like the rod. Only thing that would make it better is if there were more magnets to help bring the two sides together in the middle. Thank you. . . Review by DANA B. Could not get the bar tight enough to keep screen in place. After a few hours of using the screen the bar would become loose. Also, the screen was not tall enough. The two sides are attached together above your head but should be higher up. More and smaller magnets like on the screen I'm replacing would have been better. Over all, a poor design. Had to return both screens. Quick delivery, & the product works as promised. Cuts down A LOT on the bugs coming in the door when I used to hold the door open for the dogs. Not enough nor strong enough attachments on the side of the screen. Also the magnets are not strong enough nor strong enough to keep it closed on the bottom.
