Synopsis

The project objective was to design a small long-haul truck for India. The research involved understanding the typical Indian trucking culture along with the conventional truck bodybuilding in India. The new system tried to streamline the truck chassis travel from Original Equipment Manufacturers to truck bodybuilders and proposed a future take on how bodybuilders will work. The truck was designed to fit the context, with an emphasis on the body-cab design.
