Redesigning the Service Truck

How can service trucks be redesigned to meet technician needs?

Service trucks often act as a toolbox, workshop, and power supplier on wheels for technicians. Inefficient design, however, hinders the practicality of multi-purpose service vehicles, causing technicians frustration or even injury due to over-exertion or dangerous machinery. 

The Solution 

The student team sponsored by Opus Mach designed a more efficient service truck. Students made sure that their design met technician needs like tool access and easy unloading, as well as a usable work space and improved power supply. The redesigned service truck is extendable, giving technicians a comfortable cabin to work. 

The truck is designed for modular storage, cutting down the time a technician spends looking for and packing up tools, and allowing for modules to easily be traded and fitted among various vehicles in the company's fleet.
