vehicle design

Shaping transportation machines

Vehicle design is the discipline of creating the form, function, and aesthetics of automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, and other conveyances.

It encompasses both exterior styling and interior layout, balancing visual appeal with aerodynamics, safety, and manufacturing constraints.

The vehicle design emphasized fuel efficiency without sacrificing comfort.

Professionals in this field typically work at the intersection of engineering and industrial design.
