Olmedo HR: Redefining Accessibility and Aesthetics in Vehicle Design

Olmedo Special Vehicles Spa has unveiled the Olmedo HR, a groundbreaking high roof accessible vehicle that redefines the concept of accessibility and aesthetics in vehicle design. The Olmedo HR is designed to cater to a diverse range of missions, with a particular focus on providing transportation for individuals with disabilities.

The inspiration for the Olmedo HR stemmed from the need to create a vehicle that offers both space and accessibility without the need for extensive modifications to the chassis or mechanical components. The design aims to dispel the notion of "ugly but affordable" accessible vehicles by presenting a new identity that includes a streamlined glazed raised roof, proportionate to the size of the vehicle, and revolutionizes the styling of the prototype, giving it an appreciable multi-utility car line.

What sets the Olmedo HR apart is its innovative and unconventional concept derived from proven high roof technology. The vehicle features a new construction principle that optimizes interior space while containing exterior dimensions, resulting in a significant reduction in the maximum exterior height. The Olmedo HR is designed to ensure compatibility even with full electric versions, offering a unique combination of accessibility and aesthetic appeal.

The Olmedo HR prototype boasts engineering solutions aimed at enhancing ease of use and practicality. It features the innovative Twilling Twin Door, an up-and-over tailgate that eliminates raised rear double-hinged doors and offers coverage from sun and rain. Additionally, polarized side and front windows make the cabin bright and friendly. The vehicle is the result of Olmedo's 70 years of experience in specialty bodywork, emphasizing safety and simplicity in manufacturing.

With dimensions measuring 4403mm x 2107mm x 2030mm, the Olmedo HR represents a compact yet spacious solution for a variety of transportation needs. The vehicle's unique properties and strengths lie in its ability to provide accessibility and beauty, coupled with impactful bodywork that optimizes interior space while maintaining a visually appealing exterior.

Olmedo HR is the brainchild of designer Luca Quintavalli and the result of extensive research and development. The project, which commenced in 2020 in Reggio Emilia, Italy, is set to be available in 2024, marking a significant milestone in the realm of accessible vehicle design.

The Olmedo HR has been recognized with the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Vehicle, Mobility, and Transportation Design category, underscoring its outstanding expertise, innovation, and remarkable level of excellence. This accolade further solidifies the Olmedo HR's position as a top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable design that embodies exceptional technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill.
