The winner of the competition was Industrial Design Student Lukas Wenzhöfer. Wenzhöfer's design was produced by Opel's engineers and the project was implemented.
Opel Rocks e-XTREME: Features of the Electric Off-Road Vehicle
The Opel Rocks Electric model is an innovative vehicle that offers emission-free driving pleasure for two people from 15 years of age in Europe. The mass production version of the model attracts attention with its extraordinary design. Opel Rocks e-XTREME is a concept vehicle that takes this design even further. The vehicle has a sporty and extraordinary structure that can easily reach any target thanks to its off-road capabilities. The vehicle shows that electric transportation promises much more than a mobility solution.
Rebecca Reinermann, Vice President of Marketing for Opel/Vauxhall; “We have entered a new way of interaction and communication with #OpelDesignHack. For this project, Opel opened the usually closed doors of the industry. "In this way, we were introduced to designs that pushed the limits of students' imagination and we turned one of them into reality," he said.
Industrial Design Student Lukas Wenzhöfer, who won the competition and witnessed the production of his dream vehicle, said; “I highlighted the theme of freedom in the design of Rocks e-XTREME. It is possible to have a fun driving experience on all kinds of terrain with this vehicle. "This shows that electric transportation is an ideal option not only in the city but also for those who want to be in touch with nature," he said.
This experience is expected to reach many more people in the following months. Opel Rocks e-XTREME will continue to attract attention as part of Opel's electric transportation vision.
