Delivery scooter

1. Each ATLAS® fresh pod is designed to be fully refrigerated at around 4°C and secured in the central refrigerator unit.

2. The innovative suspension system keeps the high horsepower vehicle balanced and the cargo safe, even on a tight turn.

3. A high-voltage hot-swappable auxiliary battery was created to shorten the recharge time and keep the vehicle on the road.

4. Using a direct drive in-wheel electric motor allows more cargo area and better efficiency.

Modular warehouse

The whole design is about finding a fast and efficient way of constructing a low-cost warehouse in a suburban area. Building thousands of ATLAS warehouse® operations under a tight deadline is not impossible.

This system allows for sending groceries more efficiently, without delay or quality issues, by personalizing and minimizing the distribution processes.

With the help of this fridge & delivery system, user costs are largely reduced by eliminating processors, public refrigerated warehouses, food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. It is also a more convenient way for urban families to buy fresh groceries. Most importantly, the transparency of the whole process enables users to know where and when their food was produced.

Once this system of fresh groceries is established, it will unify the platform-to-consumer delivery market and provide better choices for customers with the help of refined hardware, warehousing, and UI design. In addition, the system will unite the distributor, supplier, and customer on the same side of the equation and will benefit each other. Based on data, the platform-to-consumer delivery sub-segment will top revenues of USD$247.9 billion by 2025.

Due to the expansion of massive modern cities, city and suburban dwellers face logistical difficulties. Large cities absorb the market and suburban populations and destroy the economic system. Simultaneously, many people move to the city because of jobs and transportation. At the same time that urban families suffer from expansive, aged, and low-quality food, they also deal with job loss, abandoned land (where nothing is grown), and low pay. How can the situation be improved? By building a bloodline of fresh grocery delivery systems for transporting and selling affordable, high-quality grows from suburban areas to the city, while helping them to find higher-paying jobs. It's a sustainable and mutually-beneficial way for city and suburban inhabitants to collaborate, and a bridge for communication.
