Case Study

Problem:

Goupil is the European leader in light electric utility vehicles with its G3 model, and wanted to replace its bestseller with a more efficient, more comfortable vehicle, the G4.

Blanc Tailleur has been collaborating with Goupil for several years and has defined the spirit of Goupil design since its purchase by Polaris.

The task set before Blanc Tailleur was to design to cost, in 9 months, the exterior, interior, and parts of the body of the vehicle.
