When a tender called for a modern, "curved" refuse truck, I was asked to explore how MUT could enter the game. The result was the 212 CB concept .
Early steps focused on basics — defining radii, checking if the curves were even manufacturable, and figuring out how to move from sharp edges to a clean, bent-sheet design without overcomplicating production.
The rear unit was a design challenge of its own. We wanted it to look more refined — inspired by fire trucks with clean, enclosed panels. But every kilo counted: axle load limits left no room for heavy cosmetic extras. The task was to integrate press mechanism, bin lift, and sleek cladding in one lightweight, functional package. A balancing act between form and function — literally.
For me, 212 CB was a milestone — my first full vehicle concept, developed together with the team. Of course, still far from a finished truck — this was about early-stage exploration. What might work? What could be built? At this point in development, everything is still on the table, and every direction is worth testing.
