Brief:
Fuel cell powered distribution truck for goods at controlled
temperature.
The
on site observation showed loading/unloading is the
main activity, rather than driving.
With
very frequent (un)loading operations, come very frequent
parking manoeuvres and egress/ingress actions. The cabin
is designed to make it all easy, safe and time efficient.
The
tail features a rather standard lift and hatch, to deliver
to companies equipped with a loading bay. The largest
part of the container is an elevator, accessible from
each side. This complete setup helps delivering to downtown
shops and restaurants along any street side.
The
main proportions were dictated by the functional issues,
but the design is based on the graphical treatment of
the lines and split lines, enhanced by the colour contrasts.
The
model confirms a compact impression, with modern graphics
expressing a machine-like efficiency rather than conventional
speed.
