Hotsy Equipment Company Vehicle Design

For years I have been laying out and applying the Hotsy Equipment Company vans and trucks here in Omaha, Lincoln and Grand Island, Nebraska. The one to the right is their current design that has been used for the last four or five years.

This year they where interested in looking at a new design for a new service vehicle last year. After doing some thinking and seeing what the customer has shown me what they where thinking, I put together the concept shown below. I felt it reflected the essences of what the company was about and would give a lasting impression as their staff drove from job site to job site. I made sure that this design didn't loose a single element, from their current layout, that has worked for company and their sales staff. The mud wraps around the front with a the power washer wand washing it off.

I made sure to build this design in Adobe Illustrator and completely in vector components. This is a necessity when carrying it over to their other vehicle types. The client was extremely happy with this layout but put it on hold for now due to budget limitations at this time. Due to the large number of doors of the toolbox located on both sides and rear of the vehicle the cost of producing this is quite high in comparison to their current design which works for them just fine. I hope one day we will be able to do the new design as it is a very fun and energetic design but I better plan for at least a couple days for installation.
