RICHARD CARR, IVT INTERNATIONAL
TOYOTA MATERIAL HANDLING’S FIRST OPEN-INVITATION
DESIGN COMPETITION FOCUSED ON ADDING A TOUCH OF
GLAMOUR TO THE OFTEN WORKADAY TOW TRACTOR
earth, realistic designs – no flying
tow tractors here!
The terms of entry granted TMHE
an exclusive option to acquire the
intellectual property rights to any
designs, so the key question is, will
we see any of these trucks – or just
some of their features – making their
way into Toyota’s line-up soon?
“We didn’t take any patents out
from this competition,” Andersson
replies. “I expect three times more
entries next year, so probably there
will be something there that we can
develop. But they inspire us, and we
need to invest in the new generation
that’s coming through.”
Set to be a biennial event for the
foreseeable future, the theme of the
next competition – which may be
fully international in scope – will be
revealed at the end of this year.
“Heavy-duty, strong and
reliable, tow tractors carry
huge loads over long
distances, saving time, energy and
money. Prove to us that they can
and should be stylish, too!”
That was how Toyota Material
Handling Europe (TMHE) invited all
European design students and 2013
graduates to enter its first Logistic
Design Competition on the theme
Tow Tractors: Industrial Machines in
Need of a Makeover, when it began
seeking design proposals for tow
tractors intended for use at airports,
production facilities and railways.
While prospective participants
were encouraged to be inventive,
original and daring in their approach,
while not forgetting aesthetic value,
they also had to bear in mind the
many industrial challenges, such
as sustainability when creating a
product to reflect the Toyota heritage
and its core product values of safety,
durability, productivity, driveability
and simplicity.
Advanced Lift-truck Technology International 2014
Approximately 150 entries were
received, which were whittled down
to 30 proposals that received input
from a worldwide mix of Toyota
designers for further development,
before a shortlist of five entries was
presented to the final jury and the
winners announced at TMHE’s pre-
CeMat event this March.
“Students don’t really know
about materials handling, but they
have a lot of ideas and sometimes
they don’t realise how innovative
they might be,” TMHE’s head of
design Magnus Oliveira Andersson
told iVT. “Sometimes their ideas
made us say, ‘Oh, maybe this could
work,’ so it’s more about inspiring
us internally.”
Surprisingly, however, despite the
future-oriented theme, the entries
were almost invariably down-to-

Magnus Oliveira Andersson’s view:
“This is modularly built and very
practical. It’s a basic design – a clean,
simple shape as well, which is a good
point. It’s a great example of how a design
can be simple but there’s so much going
on behind it, like an iPhone”
3rd place
A down-to-earth approach won Mohammad Moradi, from the School
of Art Weissensee Berlin, Product Design, Germany, the third prize.
His Ultractow was designed with the driver’s needs in mind: with
solutions for devices and a focus on safety and sustainability.
It begins with a universal platform, to which a variety of modular
structures can be added to transform it into a tow tractor, stacker or
even a sweeping machine. But even when used as a standard tow
tractor, a variety of attachments enable it to be optimally customised
to a specific need – a bigger battery can be chosen when necessary,
for example.
With a low step-in height, a rotating platform to increase the
operator’s field of view without the need to fully turn the head, a
steering arm that follows the driver’s position and a choice of height-
adjustable controllers, ergonomics have been well catered for. An
active magnetic field on the dashboard keeps the operator’s tools
within reach at all times.

LOGISTIC DESIGN COMPETITION
Advanced Lift-truck Technology International 2014
Magnus Oliveira Andersson’s view:
“We liked this one for the innovative thinking about the
future. The general shape is very interesting too – the
design team especially liked the key sketches. Is it a
realistic option? Thomas has found this technique and
applied it, so why not? We did tell them to think about
the future, after all!”
2nd place
Second prize went to Thomas Jankauskas from Pforzheim
University, Transport Design, Germany. Certainly the most
unusual of the winning designs – if not of the 150 entries
– ‘Toyota NPS’ stood out due to the unique angle and
futuristic approach to intralogistics. Standing for Nano
Plasticity System, NPS acts as a baggage carrier and
conveyor replacement, and even a catering truck when
required. It uses a non-sticky nano-gel in a triple-layer
architecture – an outer shell, contracting middle with a
memory structure that enables height adjustments to be
made, and an inner layer that imitates osmosis to deliver
items direct to the aircraft bay.
Since NPS is completely autonomous,
it will be able to form vehicle trains
to provide more efficient delivery.
Artificial intelligence computer will
allow NPS to gain experience over
time and provide even better service
as it progresses
Central hive controls all autonomous units
and calculates optimised routes

LOGISTIC DESIGN COMPETITION
1st place
First prize was awarded to Nea Kosonen and Elisa Määttänen
from Turku University of Applied Sciences Industrial Design,
Finland, for ‘Bubo’, a tractor designed to handle the hostile
conditions of arctic airports. The name is no coincidence – Bubo
shares more than a passing resemblance with an owl, its
namesake in Latin, as it was inspired by the eagle owl, which is
fast, strong, and operates in the dark.
Because baggage handlers in these airports wear bulky clothes
and enter and exit the vehicle constantly, only a roof and
windscreen – i.e. no doors – provide shelter. Neither does it have
a traditional seat – the driver stands in the vehicle or leans against
the cushioned backrest for a more ergonomic driving posture. A
key factor in the design’s success was its suitability for different
driver sizes, via a low step-in and telescopic steering arm. The
innovative control panel enables the driver to control reversing,
see relevant flights, the target plane, area map, travel speed and
the level of energy and fuel (electric in summer, diesel in winter)
remaining. ALT

Magnus Oliveira Andersson’s view:
“Bubo is very user-friendly; the vehicle
was clearly designed around the driver.
That was the main reason it won, and
from an aesthetic point of view it was
a nice, clean industrial design
approach. It has character!”

“We had a first screening with the
industrial design jury in Takahama,
where we gave grades and comments
on how to improve all the proposals,
such as, ‘How is that display
working?’ These two girls were
particularly good at picking up
on our advice”

ERGONOMIC STEERING
In the control panel the driver can
control reversing, see relevant flights,
his target plane, area map, his speed and
the level of energy and fuel. Steering is
adjustable and supported. Telescopic
arm fits drivers of different heights.
ERGONOMIC DRIVING POSITION
Baggage handlers enter and exit the
vehicle constantly – this is why Bubo
doesn’t have a traditional seat. The
driver stands in the vehicle or leans
to the cushioned backrest. This way
of driving is more ergonomic as the
distances are not long.

iVT International presents the Toyota Logistic Design Competition

  • 1. 14 tows RICHARD CARR, IVT INTERNATIONAL TOYOTA MATERIAL HANDLING’S FIRST OPEN-INVITATION DESIGN COMPETITION FOCUSED ON ADDING A TOUCH OF GLAMOUR TO THE OFTEN WORKADAY TOW TRACTOR earth, realistic designs – no flying tow tractors here! The terms of entry granted TMHE an exclusive option to acquire the intellectual property rights to any designs, so the key question is, will we see any of these trucks – or just some of their features – making their way into Toyota’s line-up soon? “We didn’t take any patents out from this competition,” Andersson replies. “I expect three times more entries next year, so probably there will be something there that we can develop. But they inspire us, and we need to invest in the new generation that’s coming through.” Set to be a biennial event for the foreseeable future, the theme of the next competition – which may be fully international in scope – will be revealed at the end of this year. “Heavy-duty, strong and reliable, tow tractors carry huge loads over long distances, saving time, energy and money. Prove to us that they can and should be stylish, too!” That was how Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) invited all European design students and 2013 graduates to enter its first Logistic Design Competition on the theme Tow Tractors: Industrial Machines in Need of a Makeover, when it began seeking design proposals for tow tractors intended for use at airports, production facilities and railways. While prospective participants were encouraged to be inventive, original and daring in their approach, while not forgetting aesthetic value, they also had to bear in mind the many industrial challenges, such as sustainability when creating a product to reflect the Toyota heritage and its core product values of safety, durability, productivity, driveability and simplicity. Advanced Lift-truck Technology International 2014 Approximately 150 entries were received, which were whittled down to 30 proposals that received input from a worldwide mix of Toyota designers for further development, before a shortlist of five entries was presented to the final jury and the winners announced at TMHE’s pre- CeMat event this March. “Students don’t really know about materials handling, but they have a lot of ideas and sometimes they don’t realise how innovative they might be,” TMHE’s head of design Magnus Oliveira Andersson told iVT. “Sometimes their ideas made us say, ‘Oh, maybe this could work,’ so it’s more about inspiring us internally.” Surprisingly, however, despite the future-oriented theme, the entries were almost invariably down-to- ABOVE: Magnus Oliveira Andersson, head of design at TMHE BELOW: The international jury gave advice to help develop the initial entries – left to right: Tadayuki Yakushi, assistant manager; Koichi Sumigama, assistant manager; Magnus Oliveira Andersson; Yoshitaka Sato, general manager; Hiroki Mori, assistant manager
  • 2. 15Advanced Lift-truck Technology International 2014 Magnus Oliveira Andersson’s view: “This is modularly built and very practical. It’s a basic design – a clean, simple shape as well, which is a good point. It’s a great example of how a design can be simple but there’s so much going on behind it, like an iPhone” 3rd place A down-to-earth approach won Mohammad Moradi, from the School of Art Weissensee Berlin, Product Design, Germany, the third prize. His Ultractow was designed with the driver’s needs in mind: with solutions for devices and a focus on safety and sustainability. It begins with a universal platform, to which a variety of modular structures can be added to transform it into a tow tractor, stacker or even a sweeping machine. But even when used as a standard tow tractor, a variety of attachments enable it to be optimally customised to a specific need – a bigger battery can be chosen when necessary, for example. With a low step-in height, a rotating platform to increase the operator’s field of view without the need to fully turn the head, a steering arm that follows the driver’s position and a choice of height- adjustable controllers, ergonomics have been well catered for. An active magnetic field on the dashboard keeps the operator’s tools within reach at all times. LOGISTIC DESIGN COMPETITION
  • 3. 17 LOGISTIC DESIGN COMPETITION Advanced Lift-truck Technology International 2014 Magnus Oliveira Andersson’s view: “We liked this one for the innovative thinking about the future. The general shape is very interesting too – the design team especially liked the key sketches. Is it a realistic option? Thomas has found this technique and applied it, so why not? We did tell them to think about the future, after all!” 2nd place Second prize went to Thomas Jankauskas from Pforzheim University, Transport Design, Germany. Certainly the most unusual of the winning designs – if not of the 150 entries – ‘Toyota NPS’ stood out due to the unique angle and futuristic approach to intralogistics. Standing for Nano Plasticity System, NPS acts as a baggage carrier and conveyor replacement, and even a catering truck when required. It uses a non-sticky nano-gel in a triple-layer architecture – an outer shell, contracting middle with a memory structure that enables height adjustments to be made, and an inner layer that imitates osmosis to deliver items direct to the aircraft bay. Since NPS is completely autonomous, it will be able to form vehicle trains to provide more efficient delivery. Artificial intelligence computer will allow NPS to gain experience over time and provide even better service as it progresses Central hive controls all autonomous units and calculates optimised routes
  • 4. 18 Advanced Lift-truck Technology International 2014 LOGISTIC DESIGN COMPETITION 1st place First prize was awarded to Nea Kosonen and Elisa Määttänen from Turku University of Applied Sciences Industrial Design, Finland, for ‘Bubo’, a tractor designed to handle the hostile conditions of arctic airports. The name is no coincidence – Bubo shares more than a passing resemblance with an owl, its namesake in Latin, as it was inspired by the eagle owl, which is fast, strong, and operates in the dark. Because baggage handlers in these airports wear bulky clothes and enter and exit the vehicle constantly, only a roof and windscreen – i.e. no doors – provide shelter. Neither does it have a traditional seat – the driver stands in the vehicle or leans against the cushioned backrest for a more ergonomic driving posture. A key factor in the design’s success was its suitability for different driver sizes, via a low step-in and telescopic steering arm. The innovative control panel enables the driver to control reversing, see relevant flights, the target plane, area map, travel speed and the level of energy and fuel (electric in summer, diesel in winter) remaining.

That was the main reason it won, and from an aesthetic point of view it was a nice, clean industrial design approach. It has character!” ON THE WEB View full presentations online at: www.iVTinternational.com

Steering is adjustable and supported. Telescopic arm fits drivers of different heights. ERGONOMIC DRIVING POSITION Baggage handlers enter and exit the vehicle constantly – this is why Bubo doesn’t have a traditional seat. The driver stands in the vehicle or leans to the cushioned backrest. This way of driving is more ergonomic as the distances are not long.
