Hybrid-E Pick-Up/SUV Vehicle
Hello to everyone!!!
Here I am showing you some work I did for a client earlier this summer. I usually keep client’s work strictly confidential and never disclose it, however this time for some various reasons the project has been stopped at a stage and further development on design has been compromised and I have the privilege to reveal you quite a lot of the design work I did.
As said on the website, 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.
What we’ve got here 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. The new vehicle outlined in the brief was not to be too futuristic looking, nor too similar to the current ones on the roads /the ones that it will try to steal a market share of/. it is powered by Li-Ion batteries as a small combustion engine was a kind of considered too.
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.
Well….for the rest I’ll leave you go through the sketches and have a look yourself. Feel free to let me know what think of this! I appreciate it….many thanks!

Beautiful line technique, both in pen and tablet. I am very glad you have shared this project with us. Also, great diverse use of media. How is the DVD coming along–can’t wait to purchase one!
Hello!
It’s cool that you share your opinion on this! Many thanks for that and the compliments too! Yeah….it’s pity that the customer spoiled the project, at least that gives you chance to look at some of the work I did for him….
About the DVD…yeah it will come! I am happy to hear you’re impatient go get one yourself. I just have many things here on the line waiting to be done but it will come 100%!!!!! I want to take my time and make a good DVD that many people would like to purchase. I guess it will be ready some time in the spring. Hope that’s not too late ;) I’ll keep you up to date with the progress.
Best!
Hi,
Is there any relationship between your concept and the Toyota A-BAT concept?

Hi Gabriel,
I did consider many pic-up vehicles (including the Toyota A-BAT and other concept ones) when working on this one. But there is no relation between the two vehicles. I like the Toyota A-BAT….it’s a cool study!
