The world is becoming more complicated; our lives develop into multiple facets. This master thesis focuses on defining a future typology in vehicle design representing a hybrid lifestyle. New technologies bring convenience to people but sometimes the amount of information exceeds our needs. Jeep Black Label is designed to escape all that in the year 2040. An unplugged lounge experience for the city and a great analogue getaway into nature. A holistic research method was used to understand the context for this vehicle. The design process followed an inside-out approach. First a dynamic interior space was generated based on users’ needs. The nal step was to ideate and choose a meaningful exterior appearance following the goal to communicate brand identity, automation and hybrid driving modes.

Starting a thesis with intention and ambitious to invent a future mobility for Southeast Asia region, one of the fastest growing region in the world. I was so passionate about what is the future mobility that very compatible to South-East Asia consumer that face a hot weather and humidity climate in whole year. Recently, the car that we produce whether in local manufacturing or imported car are not very compatible for the current environment since the climate is change dramatically in kind of temperature which massive impact in material usage in the vehicle and our daily life. By this platform, my main priority is to find a best solution by doing a research and problem´s analysis about the real situation and for a long period of time. Then, I was began the project by summarize the concept based on the research analysis. Design research, brand and background analysis, ideation sketches, studying an overall form by using clay and 3D digital modelling and also advanced visualization were the main methods that implemented during this project. The result is GEMILANG Concept, designed a future vehicle which have semi-autonomous drive mode for ASEAN ambition and actual need throughout in developing countries. The concept is considered between a climate change in this region and proposes a highly efficient in how to implement the best use of natural resources that able to stand in extreme climate particularly in this region and innovative solution between tradition, need and technology.

What is next for the luxury experience when autonomous technology is replacing your private chau eur and there is no need for improving the performance of a vehicle? What if consumers simply get bored of rare and expensive materials as the only reference to luxury? There is a potential to change the mindset and rethink the value of mobility. As it is already happening, people start to treasure experiences rather than ownership. Vehicles play multiple important roles in our lives and some of our most precious stories can happen during a ride. Inspired by such insights, this project pushed the boundaries to envision a new kind of luxurious mobility experience designed to be slow. Research, ideation, storytelling, 3D modelling and visualisation were used to propose a shared airborne mobility service for the megacity. A system composed of dirigibles and docking stations, inspired and fictitiously operated by the Lexus brand.

The automotive industry is blooming with new interpretations of what future cars will be in the future. Progressive technologies, environmental awareness and people’s behavioral change o er new opportunities for creating more sustainable vehicles. While these are primarily being developed to solve problems in urban environments, similar developments should be aimed to preserve our natural surroundings. During this project I traveled to Iceland to explore the country and learn how we can improve the experience of travel. I used my research, observations and the Land Rover heritage to look for opportunities in an autonomous o -road scenario. Furthermore I wanted to explore of how renewable energy sources can be used to benefit vehicle development and usage. Project outcome is Land Rover Melrakki, a vehicle developed to explore Iceland while sustaining main traveller needs in a downscaled solution.

In year 2030 approximately six out of every ten people will live on the urban area. This movement is especially strong in Asias mega cities like for example Tokyo, Delhi, Mumbai and Shanghai. Accelerating globalization is driving us towards the situation where each little peace of transportation must be optimized to gain space, time and efficiency to reduce the greenhouse effect. Personal transportation is a sector which will inexorably face major changes. It might not be as acceptable as it is nowadays. It is simple. Cars are unefficient the way they appear at the moment. To be able to accept them as a part of the future traffic, they need to be designed differently. Future personal transportation must be able to multitasking outside of traffic. It is important that the usage ratio would be improved considerably compared to the current one. When autonomous driving technology enter the market, a big step towards expanding the scope of the vehicles will be taken. It is still consequential to undestand that improving efficiency will not only require Cutting-Edge technology. With re-designed constructions and the creation of new ideas and preferences, one can also go far. While the vehicles are being redesigned, it is also necessary to renew the way people perceive it. If users adopt a new kind of vehicle ideology, it will lead to a positive development curve. The used design process was rather traditional. The research phase was started in January being followed by an ideation phase. After ideation the project moved in to the refinement phase and ultimately to the execution of the design in form of 3D-model and at the end physical model. Measurements and proportions were tested in Virtual Reality and in 2D 1:1 scale so that the correct size of the scale was secured since the project incorporates a space intended for living and longer stays. The Final Result is a new type of vehicle construction that appears in two main piece. It is designed to be more efficient and to serve the user in another dimension as well. Project Heliotrope combines future transportation with temporary living by transforming the vehicle's cabin into a part of your housing while tarveling. The secondary function will in fact become firstrate importance in the optimal situation, when traveling time will be shorter in relation to living time. This is the way that future transportation should be seen and designed. Driving becomes the seconday function. The Lexus Heliotrope styling is audacious and different. It does not obey the proportions or main lines of existing sedans. One of the main goals of the design has been to show the vehicle's duality, which is an important part of the concept. The architecture coprises two side-forming panels, the interposed capsule forming the vehicle cab. The design respects Lexus's traditional front graphics giving it the familiar softness from the past, instead of current murderous sharpness. The center of the visual balance is closer to the rear axle that is well known Lexus trademark. The top view introduces a beautifully flowing design that also shows the typical organic nature of the brand. A long, streamlined body can be seen as a very long lasting design.

Stridsfordon 90 tillsammans med Stridsvagn 122 är i dagsläget stommen i Försvarsmaktens mekaniserade bataljoner. I Försvarsbeslutet 2020 beslutades det att Stridsfordon 90 skall successivt ersättas med ett nytt stridsfordon efter 2030. Enligt en rapport från Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut skall teknik som är mogen 10 år innan förbanssättande av en ny plattform nyttjas för att ge tillräckligt med tid för upphandling, systemintegrering, driftsättning med mera. Totalförsvaret forskningsinstitut har även identifierat att hybriddrift av stridsfordon anses vara redo att införas efter 2025.  Med bakgrund i ovanstående konstruerades ett koncept för en hybriddrivlina för framtidens stridsfordon för att besvara frågeställningen, hur påverkar seriehybriddrivlinans tekniska ramvillkor framtidens stridsfordon och hur påverkar detta stridsfordon på taktisk nivå? Konceptetes drivlina sattes ihop med tillgänglig teknologi som går att anskaffa på marknaden och valdes efter prestanda som var bättre eller liknande som Stridsfordon 90.  Efter att konceptet hade konstruerats genomfördes två analyser med olika batterivikt. Den första analysen hade en batterivikt på 660kg och den andra 3860kg. Dessa två vikter dimensionerades efter totalvikten på Stridsfordon 90A och Stridsfordon 90C. Resultatet av analysen är att med en seriehybriddrivlina får framtidens stridsfordon en ökad prestanda, förmåga att köra på batteridrift och en högre verkningsgrad.   Med resultatet från analyserna diskuterades förväntade förändringar i förmågorna rörlighet, uthållighet och skydd. Diskussionen ledde fram till slutsatserna att framtidens stridsfordon kan med en seriehybriddrivlina erhålla en bättre teknisk prestanda vilket ökar förmågan rörlighet. Stridsfordonen får även en bättre verkningsgrad vilket gör att stridsfordonen får en bättre uthållighet samt en mindre infraröd signatur och således ett bättre skydd vid strid i mörker. Till sist kan även fordonen drivas helelektriskt vilket skapar möjligheter för den taktiska chefen att välja ett mer dolt uppträdande med stridsfordonen. / Combat Vehicle 90 together with Stridsvagn 122 is currently the backbone of the Swedish Armed Forces mechanized battalions. In the defence decision from 2020, the Swedish parliament decided that Combat Vehicle 90 will be gradually replaced with a new combat vehicle after 2030. According to a report from the Swedish Defence Research Agency, technology that is mature 10 years before deployment of a new platform will be used to provide sufficient time for procurement, system integration, commissioning and more. The Swedish Defence Research Agency has also identified that hybrid propulsion of combat vehicles is considered mature and ready to be introduced after 2025. Based on the above, a concept was constructed for a hybrid driveline for future combat vehicles to answer the question. How do the technical framework conditions of the hybrid series driveline affect the combat vehicles of the future and what will be the consequences on a tactical level? The concept's driveline was put together with existent technology that can be acquired on the market and was chosen according to performance that was better or similar to Combat Vehicle 90. After the concept had been designed, two analyzes were performed with different battery weights for the concept. The first analysis had a battery weight of 660kg and the second 3860kg. These two weights were dimensioned according to the total weight of Combat Vehicle 90A and Combat Vehicle 90C. The result of the analysis is that with a hybrid series driveline, the combat vehicles of the future will have increased performance, the ability to run on battery power and a higher efficiency. With the results, expected changes in mobility, endurance and protection were discussed. The query led to the conclusions that the combat vehicles of the future can, with a hybrid series driveline, obtain a better technical performance, which increases the mobility. The combat vehicles also have a better efficiency, which means that the combat vehicles have a better endurance and a smaller IR-signature and therefore, an enhanced protection on low light warfare. Finally, the vehicles can also be all-electrically driven, which creates opportunities for the tactical commander to choose one with stealth behaviour with the combat vehicles.
