The goal of this project was to design and deliver a new family of diesel transport tanks ranging from 100L to 600L. The key objective was to stand out from the market aesthetically while remaining subtle. Each tank required an internal compartment to house the pump package — a key point of difference from competitors at the time — offering customers a neater solution for storing the integrated hose and achieving a more streamlined appearance.
The tank geometry was guided by a balance of structural strength, ergonomics, practicality, and compatibility with standard truck tray dimensions. The pump, nozzle, and lid (when open) all needed to be easily accessible from the back of a truck. Height was a critical factor: lower profiles improved transport safety but required more floor space.
Prototyping was carried out both digitally, with scale models, and with 1:1 cardboard models to validate reachability and usability. Despite the variation in size, all tanks share a common internal layout and component set, including the lid. This approach reduced tooling costs, simplified assembly, and ensured a consistent user experience across the range. A notable design feature is that the hose and nozzle remain fully usable even when the lid is closed and locked — a practical advantage in field conditions.
