From idea to prototype: HNU students develop electric vehicle with Pasadena Art Center

01.12.2023, Study:

In the elective course “Automotive & Transportation Design,” students enrolled in the Information Management Automotive (B.Sc.) program at Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences (HNU) collaborated with the renowned Pasadena Art Center College of Design on the US West Coast to develop an innovative vehicle concept.

The task: a four-seater electric vehicle for commuting and leisure travel.

From initial scribbles, mood boards, and sketches to detailed renderings and, in some cases, even physical prototypes, the students went through the entire design process. They were supported by international experts from the Pasadena Art Center, one of the world's leading design colleges for automotive and transportation.

 

The project not only offered participants the opportunity to deepen their design skills, but also to experience the requirements of modern mobility solutions in a practical setting. The collaboration with the Pasadena Art Center underscores HNU's international orientation and provides students with valuable insights into global design trends.
