Driver comfort and safety

The world of transportation is changing under the need of moving goods in a clean and intelligent way, and the increase of the E-commerce impact on our society. GAUSSIN launches its new range of trucks and brings an answer today to what will be the future of transportation. GAUSSIN trucks have been developed around two major components:

  • The revolutionary intelligent modular skateboard powered by Hydrogen or Batteries systems presented last April (Press release 27 April, 2021).
  • And a completely new cab concept designed by PININFARINA for driver comfort and safety. The cab has also been designed to blend in with the environment in a quiet and intelligent way.

This new design covers all the range of GAUSSIN range of trucks developed thanks to the electric, hydrogen, autonomous ready Gaussin modular skateboard:

  • Class 8 tractors 44 T (4x2, 6x4) with up to 1200 km combining Electric and Hydrogen energy
  • Rigid trucks for clean and quiet distribution in the city areas
  • Rigid trucks for construction: cement trucks, tippers, etc…
  • Rigid trucks for waste management,
  • and also the Gaussin H2 Racing Truck

Pininfarina, leveraging on its solid experience in sustainable mobility, has created a distinctive design identity for the new range of Gaussin trucks able to enhance the main values of the products: performance and sustainability. The result of the collaboration is a design language that will give life to a full family of innovative trucks, setting a new standard into the market.

  • The cab has to be aligned with the new mobility needs. It must be the link between the driver and his mission, between the truck and its environment. It has to be clean, safe, friendly but also intelligent to perform at a high level of efficiency…. and it has to have a signature that lasts over time. Pininfarina has not only designed a modern and great looking cab but has created a transgenerational story. At Gaussin, we are of course working for the performance of our customers but also for the planet and the next generations. This is exactly why we have chosen to collaborate with Pininfarina », says Christophe GAUSSIN, CEO of GAUSSIN.
  • We are happy and proud of this collaboration with GAUSSIN, a recognized player in clean and innovative mobility. Pininfarina Group is deeply involved to designing customer journeys and unique user experiences merging physical and digital worlds through aesthetics and technology. We are convinced that the combination of our know-howwill lead to the success of the new range of trucks developed by GAUSSIN », says Kevin Rice, Chief Creative Officer of
    PININFARINA.
