User Introduction
To know the user better.

The ‘Bag-Pack ’
The headlamps are designed to showcase
the brands ‘bleep’ accent, as it gives the
sense of diction with the pop color.
Designed to accommodate the tail-lamp,
back-rest, DLO, Extra Storage, pillars it also
gives the vehicle a sense of solemnity.
Panoramic Sun-roof
The huge translucent front gives the driver
a sufficient field of view and fits to hold the
whole vehicle structure (pillars) together.

storage
Comes off as an all-rounder with all the
necessary requirements, having an identity
that is impactful and looks confident.

100 %
The vehicle comes with
built in mobile device link
system which guides the
partner throughout the
entire task journey.

Focusing on the Usability aspect, it
is designed with rigor; established
through respondent validation and
triangulation.
To the multiple facet of problems
that a user faces while driving in
the city, movement being in the
name of the game, this vehicle is
all about being quick, being
reliable and being bold.
Dunzo’s ‘The Moving Brand’
strategy has hugely inspired the
design of this vehicle.

“Evoking a sense of urgency.” Signifying
speed of the vehicle. It is designed to be
simple and memorable matching the tone
of voice set by the brand. The edgy-ness of
the vehicle evokes a feeling of toughness &
the vehicle being safe for the partner to use
as they remain the brands real-world
contact every-day.
“Success is a moving target. So we should
be on the move too.” To justify the leaning
stance of the vehicle: it is Inspired by the
typeface that the brand has carefully
selected for their marketing and branding
purposes. The dominant front of the vehicles
shows the personality traits of the brand.
