Pininfarina,
a global automobile design house based in Italy and owned by India-based
Mahindra & Mahindra, is designing the new range of Gaussin road trucks. Gaussin
is a France based engineering company that designs, assembles and sells
innovative products and services in the transport and logistics field.
Gausin’s
know-how encompasses cargo and passenger transport, autonomous technologies
allowing for self-driving solutions such as Automotive Guided Vehicles, and the
integration all types of batteries, electric and hydrogen fuel cells in
particular.
Gaussin trucks have been developed around
two major components:
-The
revolutionary intelligent modular skateboard powered by Hydrogen or Batteries
systems presented last April.
-
And a completely new cab concept designed by Pininfarina for driver comfort and
safety. The cab has also been designed to blend in with the environment in a
quiet and intelligent way.
This new design covers all the range of Gaussin
range of trucks developed thanks to the electric, hydrogen, autonomous ready
Gaussin modular skateboard:
•
Class 8 tractors 44 T (4x2, 6x4) with up to 1200 km combining Electric and
Hydrogen energy
•
Rigid trucks for clean and quiet distribution in the city areas
•
Rigid trucks for construction: cement trucks, tippers, etc…
•
Rigid trucks for waste management, •and
also the Gaussin H2 Racing Truck
Pininfarina,
leveraging on its solid experience in sustainable mobility, has created a
distinctive design identity for the new range of Gaussin trucks able to enhance
the main values of the products: performance and sustainability. The result of
the collaboration is a design language that will give life to a full family of
innovative trucks, setting a new standard into the market.
“The
cab has to be aligned with the new mobility needs. It must be the link between
the driver and his mission, between the truck and its environment. It has to be
clean, safe, friendly but also intelligent to perform at a high level of efficiency…
and it has to have a signature that lasts over time. Pininfarina has not only
designed a modern and great looking cab but has created a transgenerational
story. At Gaussin, we are of course working for the performance of our
customers but also for the planet and the next generations. This is exactly why
we have chosen to collaborate with Pininfarina,” says Christophe Gaussin, CEO
of Gaussin.
