This report covers the development of the Flex Cab +, a multi-purpose interior module for Light Commercial Vehicles.
The project aims to prove the technical feasibility of additional functionalities in a Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV). After analysing the target market and picking a specific LCV type, several “must have” functionalities have been selected. The developed product offers a multi-purpose solution that can be installed in the medium LCV segment. This project builds on to an existing product and aims to prove that with relatively minimal engineering a big impact can be made when it comes to added functionalities.
The feasibility of these functionalities is first verified on a theoretical level, after which a physical prototype was built and installed in an LCV for proof of concept. After evaluating the product on safety and fiscal regulations, a list of recommendations for further development was created.
