DAF 45 & 55 SERIES SLEEPER-CAB DAF 45 & 55 SERIES SLEEPER-CAB
As part of the development of the range of cab options in the 7-15 tonne trucks. The sleeper cab was designed and developed, in conjunction with CAD and the DAF Styling Dept. during 1997 as a fully tooled steel body that integrated with the existing 'day cab' . The design on screen and as clay models was then fully mastered and tooled, resulting in a very popular effective complementary vehicle into the DAF truck range

FORD ESCORT VAN FORD ESCORT VAN
From this rendering and others created during the middle of 1987, a project programme was undertaken to develop a van derivative of the CE14 Escort range. Tape drawings, feasibility studies and a full-size claymodel were developed, in conjunction with a team of Ford designers & engineers, culminating in the release of the master CAD body surface design, interior structure & trim and panel & detail evaluation prototypes.

 
VOLUMAKER BODYWORK
In conjunction with Resinject Developments, now part of Fletcher International Products Plc, a range of fully tooled plastic bodies were developed between 1994 and 1998, that could be fitted to a wide variety of vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tonne. The lightweight construction, plus good aerodynamics and a useful internal volume, enabled a higher payload to be carried more efficiently than a standard coachbuilders box-body. The cab-integrated aesthetics also have resulted in many vehicles being used in prestigious working environments.

OLYMPIC COACHBUILDERS HORSE-BOX OLYMPIC COACHBUILDERS HORSE-BOX
As a development of the Volumaker bodywork projects, in 1998, a range of high quality horseboxes were developed for vehicles between 3.5 and 17.5 tonne, on Iveco and Mercedes Benz chassis, with particular attention being paid to horse access and comfort and excellent crew accommodation.

 
C.N.A.C. TJ135 TRUCK
As China began redeveloping its vehicle programmes in late '80's, the TJ135, produced for the Tianjin Corporation, was designed as a low cost 1.5 tonne truck. With innovative design and construction, the project succeeded by keeping tooling costs to a minimum, and in less than 27 months from start to finish, resulted in a simple modern and robust vehicle that met the project brief.
