Industrial Design and Project Management
UES Water Tanks
With the aim of targeting both the B2B truck-building market segment and the emerging B2C four.wheel drive owner, UES decided to develop a range of polyethylene water tanks mounting to different sized vehicles, enabling owners to wash their hands, after working in rugged terrain or industrial environments, before re-entering their vehicle.
What was involved
Developed a product strategy and design brief aligned with sales and marketing teams
Sketching, concept development, implementation, testing and production
Manage both timeline and strict budget
Lead cost analysis, production feasibility and packaging considerations
Achievements
Developed a very highly functional range of water tanks that had a less than 0.5% rate of claims, return or notification product faults when used in rugged terrain
Integrated mounting system removes the need for sheet-metal brackets - conventionally, extra metal brackets are a requirement for existing vehicle water tanks on the market
