Volvo Columbus and Capacitor - My 4th year Major project at Coventry University.
Designed around a truck cabin with an extendeable rear section. All about the driver experience including a driver focused console, panoramic windows giving more than double the visibility of current trucks and a full entertainment system allowing the driver to relax better when resting and be safer on the road the next day.
