A product that combines design, safety, durability and high performance in day-to-day operations at an affordable price. It’s a vehicle suited for nowadays style of live. The design challenge start with the goal of design it for chassis Mercedes-Benz Atego, CC-150 Iveco CC-150 and MAN P.14, all front engine. The version of the images corresponds to F5 on the Atego chassis. Characteristics of design are use of fiberglass material and application of user-centered design criteria. Fiberglass increases the durability of the car, makes repairs easier and lightens the vehicle for less fuel consumption. Those points make it more Sustainable. Also facilitate the front side manufacturing in one part, reducing imperfections and gaps when connecting it with the rest of the vehicle. Front design also facilitates natural and high air circulation in order to have engine’s natural refresh for better perform. Easy to use, and feel like in particular car.
