Experienced in complex mobility projects, hegge ID was approached to participate in the development of the interior and cockpit area of the Futura coach. It was achieved in close collaboration with VDL B&C and Van Der Veer Designers, responsible for the exterior design and strategic corporate design. To save weight and optimise the design for assembly, a lightweight dashboard structure was created and engineered. It was validated using hegge ID’s in-house 3D scanning technology. As part of our user-centred design approach, many of the ergonomic and functional elements were first developed into life-size mock-ups for user evaluation during test sessions and practical workshops.
