Swedish designer Marcos Costa has created a concept car in his Umea Institute of Design thesis project called ‘Anything moves a bucket of Lilies.’
Marcos Costa rethinks production assumptions and proposes a new, modularized approach to automotive manufacturing, pointing out that in addition to style, materials sourcing, parts transportation, and vehicle distribution all play a role in automotive design.
A short video overviews his sustainable design concept and assembly method that doesn’t require welding, painting, or most of the wast-intensive processes of the traditional assembly line.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Modularized Manufacturing
- Opportunity to disrupt traditional manufacturing processes by adopting a modularized approach that eliminates wasteful processes and reduces costs.
- Sustainable Automotive Design
- Innovation opportunity to create sustainable concept cars that reduce waste and use environmentally-friendly materials.
- Flexible Production Systems
- Opportunity to implement flexible production systems that can adapt to changing design requirements and streamline the manufacturing process.
Where This Applies
- Automotive Manufacturing
- Opportunity to transform the automotive manufacturing industry by adopting modularized and sustainable production methods.
- Sustainable Materials
- Innovation opportunity for the sustainable materials industry to develop eco-friendly materials for use in modularized automotive manufacturing.
- Industrial Automation
- Opportunity for the industrial automation industry to develop flexible production systems that can efficiently assemble modularized concept cars.
