The Mobile Workshop

1 · The job

The van is the workplace. It arrives, powers tools, provides shelter, and must still complete the journey back.

2 · The proposed vehicle envelope

Medium-wheelbase high roof, or a chassis platform with a workshop body.

3 · Target payload

1,000 kg

A target, not an achieved figure. Nothing here has been engineered or measured.

4 · Target working range

150 miles in mixed use

A requirement drawn from the work, not a published or calculated range.

5 · Operational requirements

• Stationary for hours with equipment running
• Standing work inside the vehicle
• Tools charged overnight from the vehicle or the depot

6 · Principal compromises

• Energy used on site is energy not available for the journey.
• Standing height increases frontal area and body mass.

7 · What would need engineering validation

• Separating traction energy from working energy
• Safe power delivery to tools and equipment
• Thermal comfort during long stationary periods

Engineering assessment required

8 · Who might benefit

• Field engineers
• Mobile technicians
• Rural service businesses
