IVECO Vision Concept

Commercial vans have some of the most mind-numbing designs in the automotive industry, making Iveco’s Vision Concept stand out like a lighthouse for the lost. Presented at this week’s 2014 Hanover International Motor Show, the Vision has the styling glitter we’ve come to expect from a concept that wants to demonstrate the future.

Some of the van’s standout features include the “see-through” front pillars, a rear camera that displays an image on a panoramic screen on top of the windshield, and a load management system that utilizes a series of sensors that “identify the goods and then indicate the correct positioning of these within the vehicle interior”, according to Iveco.

The Italians also chose an advanced powertrain solution named “Dual Energy System” that allows the vehicle to run solely on electricity at low speeds with a “thermoelectric” motor kicking in for longer journeys at highway speeds.
