THE TEAM
I worked in a team of 5, we were 3 transport designers, 1 product designer and me in UX design.
Collaboration
We worked in collaboration with the Continental brand, which gave us an initial brief and supported us throughout the project.
Initial Brief
Design Continental's vision for the intermediate Vehicles of the Future: Combine Safety, Sustainability and Driving Experience
WISE TECH
We have identified two different trends, one which consists of pushing development in high tech and the other low tech, we believe in offering a low tech design with high tech touches.
ACTUAL CONTEXT
INTERMEDIATE VEHICLE POSITIONING

PRECONCEPT
MIXING THE UNIVERSE
We mixed our concepts according to Continental's wishes and what was most relevant to the brief.
ITERATING WIREFRAMES
I worked on the 3 universes by offering very different interfaces and functionalities specific to each user.
Connect
Click to view full size
Buggy
Click to view full size
Professionnal
Click to view full size
3D PRINTING
I 3D printed the interface to test the UI dimensions and handling.
DISCOVER THE FEATURES
IT IS NOT JUST A BACKSEAT
The rear tarpaulin is removable
BUT ALSO A TRUNK
You can open the rear and remove the passenger seats.
OR A BIKE RACK
The roof also serves as a bike rack once the tarpaulin is removed.
OR EVEN A STOCK SPACE
Once the seats are removed, the rear can accommodate a European pallet.
LARGE OPENING
We have worked on the package to offer large openings.
EASY TO DRIVE
The user has a gauge to indicate how to turn the steering wheel to maneuver.
MOVABLE INTERFACE
The interface can be moved anywhere and can be used indoors or outdoors. With its magnet, you can stick it wherever you want!
PARTY TIME
When party mode is activated on the interface, the speakers come out so you can listen to the sounds outside.
BUGGY MODE
We also thought of Corentin, the Buggy mode allows you to clip the headlights high up to ride on the paths so that they can go to their bike spot.
LOW TECH VENTILATION
Ventilation is natural, through a front slit and to have more air, it is also possible to open the windshield.
SCRATCHES?
It is also a car for Nathan who is learning to drive, the bumpers protect the vehicle from scratches.
CHILL ZONE
This opening allows you to create a different atmosphere on this side, a chill-out area, a showcase? The choice is yours.
PERSONAL STUFF? A BAG?
The side console offers a storage area accessible from the inside and a storage area for a bag.
MINI BAR, OFFICE, SHOWCASE...
A space that adapts to each person according to their use of the vehicle
NEED TO RECHARGE?
You can charge up to 3 phones, computers or other devices.
