Dynapac Red Carpet


The Dynapac Red Carpet is an environmentally conscious solution for road maintenance in future megacities, where street traffic is predicted to become increasingly dense and unstoppable. This futuristic road-recycling paver allows inner city traffic to continue its flow without interruptions by letting vehicles drive over it while paving.

The Dynapac Red Carpet utilizes an existing process known as Hot-In-Place Recycling, in which the old road surface is re-heated using microwaves. The reclaimed asphalt is lifted into the machine, mixed with a small amount of fresh binder and paved back onto the road.

Hey, here's a crazy idea- how 'bout more R&D into Quantum levitation, magnetics, anti-gravity,etc., so we can avoid all of this nonsense completely? Just nutso, I know.
