VW Crafter L3H2 based mobile Dyno Lab
This project presents a comprehensive 3D design and technical conversion package for a VW Crafter L3H2 (short wheelbase, low roof) into a fully functional Mobile Dyno Lab (Dynamometer Laboratory).
Project Objective:
The core challenge was to engineer a robust, ergonomic, and efficient custom interior that separates a high-tech operator workstation from the heavy-duty technical area. The design optimizes every millimeter of space for both machinery and personnel comfort within a commercial panel van footprint.
Layout & Key Features
1. Operator Workstation (Front Cargo Area):
Partition Bulkheads: Heavy-duty bulkhead separating the driver cabin from the operator area, and an internal acoustic/safety bulkhead separating the operator from the rear dyno bay.
Work Desk: Custom fitted desk (1518 mm width) with integrated mounts for dual monitors, keyboard, and mouse.
Overhead Console: Overhead rack for diagnostic displays, additional hardware, and document storage.
Operator Seat: Single adjustable ergonomic chair mounted to the vehicle floor, positioned with optimized clearances (861.9 mm workspace depth, 318 mm headroom clearance (seated)).
Storage & Safety: Integrated side shelving unit and designated mount for a fire extinguisher.
2. Technical Bay (Rear Cargo Area):
Dynamometer Setup: Custom 3D model of a chassis dyno unit (1350 mm length x 1100 mm width) featuring a top-mounted cooling fan.
External Display Mount: Articulating heavy-duty dual-arm bracket with a diagnostic display monitor, visible through the rear doors.
Load & Space Management: Floor structure designed for heavy equipment mounting and dynamic load distribution within the wheel arches (1380 mm inner width).
Technical Deliverables Included
Photorealistic Renders: Overall internal cutaway views, side profiles, and rear access perspective.
Dimensional Drawings: CAD layout drawings with key measurements (over 20 overall and functional dimensions included: wall-to-wall clearances, desk height, equipment footprint).
3D Models: Scaled 3D CAD assets of the VW Crafter base vehicle, dyno equipment, partition walls, and custom interior furniture.
