Our automotive design studio is equipped with the latest design tools and software applications for engineering design and product detailing. We also have in-house workshop facilities for creating models, mockups, tooling and prototypes.

We bring together our skills, expertise and facilities to conceptualize and deliver design solutions that are destined to make an impact in the futuristic and dynamic world of private and public transport vehicle development.

Raikkonen Engineers is well equipped to deliver Automotive Product Design with the kind of forward-thinking necessary in this dynamic sector. A keen awareness of future trends and the needs of users is paramount in most areas of design and development, but perhaps no more so than in the automotive design and public transport sectors.

As the levels of comfort and safety, and the facilities available to drivers and passengers of private cars continues to widen, so too do their expectations of these things when travelling by public transport. Circulation space design and safety whilst negotiating interior and exterior approach spaces is augmented by an intense focus on user access, comfort, connectivity and visibility (and indeed privacy).Society’s ever mounting fascination with personal freedom and healthy lifestyles has led to dramatic developments in automotive design as well as the rise of the niche vehicle. We work with selected clients on projects in the race/sports/utility field as well as the PSV (Public Service Vehicles) sectors –There has never been a better time for our automotive designers to display their creativity.
