The e-NV200 WORKSPACe
an office in a van that allows users to work from any location they choose.
The e-NV200 WORKSPACe is designed for digital nomads and is the world’s first electronic mobile workspace. In collaboration with the UK-based design workshop, Studio Hardie, the workspace is a mini, self contained office-in-a-van. The zero emissions van comes complete with an integrated fold-out desk, a touch-screen computer, wireless internet, Bluetooth audio, smartphone-controlled lights, and a mini-fridge. It also contains a coffee maker which rises from a hidden compartment onto the counter and a folding Brompton bike mounted to the rear door. The van is electric and takes 30 minutes of charging to reach 80% power.
The e-NV200 WORKSPACe also contains innovative design features that allow workers to take advantage of their location such as a floating, pull-out deck at the rear and a panoramic glass roof. Will other brands follow suit as they begin to cater for an increasingly nomadic working population?
