The rolling exhibit is 22-ft. wide when fully deployed, and features 19 stations guests can visit to learn about Delo technology. The trailer is being pulled behind a specially-decorated Kenworth T700.

The truck will be making appearances at major trade shows, Chevron distributor locations and truck stops.
