The UK micromobility industry is surging with both vehicle diversity and operating models rapidly expanding, but we are only scratching the surface. We believe there is an opportunity to
stretch the definition of micromobility by creating a PLEV designed to expand the utility of e-scooters for business use, commuting and leisure.

Designing Future Micro-mobility Solutions
Designing Future Micro-mobility Solutions
Micro-mobility is set to grow by 2000% into a £500B industry by 2030. It will help resolve the issue of decarbonisation, and play a key role in urban mobility by linking with inter-city transport systems and it will satisfy the needs of the younger generations with and a changing propensity to own a car and possess a licence which reached its peak in 1994.

Mobile Vaccination Unit
To help immunise the nation, we have designed a Mobile Vaccination Unit that brings the Vaccination to the People.
The service will be delivered with a unit that can be assembled in local community facilities such as community halls and schools.
The mobility of the unit will reduce the time out of home for elderly and vulnerable people.
This would come with an online registration system that will alert you when the unit is in your neighbourhood, you will be able to register and reserve your vaccination time slot.
The units can then be reused for mobile medical facilities for events, natural disasters etc.
We have sent to the Department of Health and Social Care.
Upcoming Landglider concept
A research project funded by OLEV through the Niche Vehicle Network.
A collaborative project between Astheimer – Design, Potenza – Drive Train, Conjure – HMI and BAMD – Sustainable composite panels.
Landglider is an electric concept car made road legal, with efficiency driving it’s design, in order to maximise the range of an electric vehicle through weight reduction, drivetrain efficiency, aerodynamics and rolling resistance all optimised to demonstrate real world capability to run over 400 miles on a single charge.
Astheimer designs the Volta Zero
Leading design consultancy, Astheimer Design has collaborated with Swedish start-up electric vehicle manufacturer, Volta Trucks to design and build the Volta Zero – the world’s first purpose- built full-electric 16 tonne truck with a clear focus on safety and sustainability.
Carsten Astheimer, Founder of Astheimer Design, said; “We’ve worked in close partnership with Volta Trucks from the beginning, understanding their vision and objectives, helping them position the brand and then guiding the product development process. Our starting point was the customer – understanding first-hand what urban deliveries was really like and interviewing logistics managers and drivers. We analysed the competitors and researched sustainable materials and technologies.”
Created specifically as an inner-city distribution vehicle, Volta Zero has been designed with a driver centric approach to make the vehicle safer for drivers as well as vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists. The driver sits in a central driving position, and in a lowered cab, to optimise eye height and maximise direct visibility. Symmetrical rear sliding doors allows easy access in-and-out of either side of the cab.
“Being fully electric, we were able to completely rethink how the truck was designed. Placing the batteries and powertrain in the ladder chassis underneath the body, gave us a clean sheet of paper for the layout and design of the cabin. We had three main priorities: Safety, ease of ingress / egress and the best driver environment of any truck on the market,” continued Carsten.
Volta Zero is fitted with 160-200kWh batteries delivering a range of up to 200km. The overall design is characterised by an iconic streamlined silhouette, consisting of a fully integrated cab and load space, split by a purposeful angle.
“Where technology meets nature is the embodiment of the overall direction,” says Russell Gillott, Design Director of Astheimer Design. “This philosophy is in harmony with the brand, giving the vehicle a friendly and approachable character. The simplicity of the overall volume, combined with clean, sculptural surfaces and precise details emphasise its futuristic essence. To create the most sustainable vehicle possible, we made the body panels from natural flax fibre infused with a biodegradable resin. The result is a fully natural, extremely lightweight, high-performance fibre composite that is almost CO2 neutral over its lifecycle.”
