THE BRIEF
HVS HGV
Avant first worked with HVS on its MCV programme in 2021. Our early design work laid the groundwork for the product’s base concept, which HVS’s in-house design team then refined and developed through to the demonstrator build. That project built a strong working relationship, and HVS asked Avant to join its next and larger programme: a hydrogen heavy goods vehicle.
DESIGN
On the HGV, Avant led the initial concept phase. We produced a series of concept sketch proposals, and through a selection process and the production of a volume model, those early ideas matured into a viable design concept. The exterior was shaped with a focus on aerodynamics.

PRODUCTION
The HGV demonstrator was unveiled at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC, Birmingham, in April 2023, where it attracted significant attention for its distinctive design.
All release visuals were produced by the visualisation team at HVS.
DESIGN
Cutting-edge interior with Scandinavian elegance
While the HVS surfacing team led the finalisation of the production A-surfaces, Avant focused on developing the interior design concept. Drawing on Scandinavian interior design and architecture, we set out to give the cab the functionality and quality expected of such an innovative vehicle.
