Turnkey Design Solution - Fully Drivable Show Cars

DTUK has recently completed a turnkey design solution for a major automotive OEM in the production of two fully drivable show cars with an electric and petrol engine variant.

We were first tasked with designing a chassis that could be easily adapted for both power variants to include full suspension and braking, after successfully completing this stage we moved forward and completed the designs of the interior & exterior components and their associated tooling requirements.

Two teams of our designers worked in tandem producing body panels, glazing, development of door & tailgate apertures, grey zones, Seals, Seating, Mechanisms and Interior components taking in consideration many requirements such as electrical packaging & routing, weight restriction and material properties.

The project was completed and delivered to the customer within a very tight timing schedule and was very well received.
