Movin’On, a ecosystem of strategic anticipation and co-innovation for sustainable mobility, has unveiled the three winners of the Movin'On Challenge Design. 

The theme for the 2022 edition was "DELIVERED: bringing people what they need", the company said in a statement. 

From 1 September 2021 to 1 March 2022, artists, designers, engineers, architects, urban planners and creative people from all over the world have participated in the competition evaluated by an international jury. 

Since its creation, the Movin'On Challenge Design has received more than 14,000 entries from 134 countries, the release claimed. 

The first prize went to the AGORA concept by Damián Mora, Pau Verdú, Fabiana Pando, Víctor Fernández, María Mora from Spain. 

The release said the new edition of Movin'On Challenge Design has been dedicated to the AGORA concept created by Damián Mora and his team of three industrial design engineers and a graphic designer. The young Barcelona native specialises in modelling, rendering and 3D animation. His work is recognised for its environmental consistency and attention to detail, the
release pointed out. 

Focusing on access to culture, the team's AGORA project draws its inspiration from Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. The AGORA concept thus plans to open up delivery - usually limited to goods or services - to other areas, allowing the most significant number of people to experience cultural and entertainment spaces in the flesh. 

The second prize went to Sharon Ramalingam Radhakrishnan from India for his GAC FORMA concept. A recent graduate of the Royal College of Art Intelligent Mobility in London, Sharon, interned as an OLA Electric Mobility interior designer, the release said.  

His project, called GAC FORMA, provides a new solution adapted to the challenges of automobile traffic present in many cities. Built around a subscription service, it predicts the end of a car ownership culture, a practice responsible for significant space consumption and street congestion for parking purposes. GAC FORMA is also planning a car model that folds widthwise, allowing a considerable gain in space. 

Imthiyas Ahmed Sheik, a second-year student at the M.I.T. Institute of Design, Pune, India, bagged the third prize for his R.R:ALPHA concept. The R.R:ALPHA project imagines an automobile capable of connecting rural and urban areas to open up regions that are sometimes isolated and subject to a significant departure. Combining a contraction wheel and a zorbing ball, R.R:ALPHA provides a feasible and functional solution, allowing the simultaneous transport of a large number of goods on different terrains; even in case of flooding, the vehicle becomes amphibious. 

The members of the jury were Nick Mailhiot, Movin'On Challenge Design Chairman; Craig Metros, Former Design Director, North American Truck, S.U.V. & Commercial, Ford Motor Company, Instructor of automotive design, College for Creative Studies; Chris Chapman, Former Design Director, Hyundai Design of North America. Design consultant; Angela Hariche, CEO of Catapult Design; Freeman Thomas, CEO of Meyers Manx, Former global advanced Design Director, Ford Motor Company; Stewart Reed, Chair, Transportation Design Department, Art Center College of Design; Dave Marek, Acura global Creative Director, Honda R&D Americas, Inc.; Frank Saucedo, Design Director, General Motors; and Damien Michelin, honorary juror.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) has launched the Nexon CAMO, a new special edition of its popular compact SUV, with prices beginning at INR 999,000 ex-showroom in Delhi. The introduction coincides with the brand’s celebration of a decade since the Nexon’s original debut and the trust of over 1.1 million customers, marking the model’s enduring success in the Indian automotive market.

The new CAMO variant distinguishes itself with two exclusive premium paint schemes, named Munnar Mist and Coorg Cloud. The former is a dynamic dark green that shifts to a sophisticated grey in shadows and reveals rich green and golden tones under sunlight. In contrast, the latter is a contemporary grey-silver finish with subtle metallic highlights, designed to offer an understated yet premium aesthetic that complements the SUV's rugged character.

TMPV has equipped the Nexon CAMO with a significant technology upgrade, headlined by an Ultra View Twin HD Digital Cockpit. This features a 31.24-cm infotainment system and a 26.03-cm digital instrument cluster, both from Harman, with the latter including embedded navigation. The technology package is further enhanced by an integrated dashcam recorder that is part of the 360-degree camera surround view system, which also includes a blind spot view monitor.

The special edition is not solely about aesthetics and screens, as it also incorporates a comprehensive suite of comfort and safety features. The cabin includes ventilated leatherette front seats, a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, and an immersive nine-speaker JBL audio system with a subwoofer. Safety is addressed through seven Advanced Driver Assistance Systems functions calibrated for Indian roads, six airbags and electronic stability control, ensuring the CAMO is as secure as it is stylish.

Maintaining the Nexon’s hallmark versatility, the CAMO is offered across all three powertrain options: a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and the segment-exclusive 1.2-litre turbocharged iCNG with twin-cylinder technology. With multiple transmission choices available, the automaker has positioned the Nexon CAMO as a distinctive and aspirational package for a wide range of SUV buyers, reinforcing the model's legacy of innovation as the festive season approaches.

Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, "Since its launch a decade ago, the Nexon has provided comfortable, safe and enjoyable journeys for over 1.1 million families, becoming one of India's most iconic nameplates with an unmissable presence on the roads. This success has been built on constantly raising the bar in safety, technology and design while keeping these innovations accessible to a wider set of customers. The Nexon CAMO carries that spirit forward, with two striking new colours and an elevated technology package that makes it the most distinctive Nexon yet. Timed perfectly for the festive season, it gives customers an even stronger reason to make the Nexon their own."

Japanese automotive company Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has shared an update regarding its upcoming new Pajero SUV launch scheduled for premiere this autumn.

The automaker confirmed that the vehicle combines off-road driving capabilities across weather and road conditions with on-road ride refinement.

The SUV utilises a ladder frame chassis paired with a re-engineered suspension system designed to maintain road-holding performance over uneven surfaces, bumps and terrain impacts. The setup aims to reduce body movement and cabin vibration to support occupant comfort during long-distance driving.

Handling and drive distribution are managed by Mitsubishi Motors' Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology. The integrated vehicle dynamics control system manages power output and braking to optimise stability and traction across driving conditions.
