Hybrid-E is an electric Pick-Up/SUV vehicle for the US market.
I was hired by a customer in the US to give the initial kick on a project that was to be developed into series of production vehicles all using hybrid technology and sharing identical platforms.
In terms of look & proportions, this is a classical American pick-up truck – as defined from the initial brief and it is an electric/hybrid alternative to its current rivals on the market such as Dodge Ram, Ford F150, GMC Sierra etc. Not to look too futuristic and not too conventional at the same time as the vehicle has to attract the same customer group as its well established rivals the market. It is powered by Li-Ion batteries as a small combustion engine was also considered.
The interior was designed according to the requirements of the customer. As with the exterior, the vehicle has similar interior specifications to its rivals in this class. New features like wide use of electronic devices and touch screens are standard for all the electric cars planned for going into production.
Due to unfulfilled obligations on the contract from the client, the project has been stopped from further development on design and all creative work remains my sole intellectual property.
If any interest towards the project arises, feel free to contact me – I am opened to discuss the matter.
