Project Description

3 IN 1: MODULAR DESIGN OF DESHI VAN CONVERTIBLE INTO RICKSHAW AND ROADSIDE TEA STALL

THE “3 IN 1” MODULAR DESIGN CONCEPT PRESENTS A VERSATILE SOLUTION FOR URBAN MOBILITY AND SMALL-SCALE COMMERCE IN BANGLADESH. THIS INNOVATIVE DESIGN TRANSFORMS A STANDARD DESHI VAN INTO THREE FUNCTIONAL FORMS: A RICKSHAW, A MOBILE TEA STALL, AND A MINI VAN, OFFERING FLEXIBILITY FOR MULTIPLE PURPOSES WITH MINIMAL INVESTMENT.

THE CORE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF A ROBUST FRAME WITH INTERCHANGEABLE MODULES, ENABLING THE VEHICLE TO EASILY SWITCH BETWEEN A RICKSHAW FOR PASSENGER TRANSPORT, A ROADSIDE TEA STALL FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, AND A MINI VAN FOR TRANSPORTING GOODS OR SERVICES. THE VAN'S MODULAR COMPONENTS INCLUDE A COLLAPSIBLE TEA STALL SETUP, COMPLETE WITH SHELVES, COUNTERS, AND A PORTABLE ROOF, IDEAL FOR SETTING UP A ROADSIDE TEA SHOP. THE RICKSHAW MODE FEATURES A COMFORTABLE PASSENGER SEATING AREA, WHILE THE MINI VAN MODE OPTIMIZES SPACE FOR GOODS TRANSPORT. THIS ADAPTABLE DESIGN PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE, COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS, BENEFITING INDIVIDUALS IN URBAN AND SEMI-URBAN AREAS WHO NEED MOBILITY AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN ONE. WHETHER FOR COMMUTING, RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS, OR DELIVERING GOODS, THE “3 IN 1” VAN ENSURES PRACTICALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON SPACE OR FUNCTIONALITY, OFFERING A DYNAMIC APPROACH TO MODERN-DAY CHALLENGES.
