Today the person-pet bond plays a very important role in different aspects of daily life, pets not only provide company, but also happiness and protection, support and much more. Not for nothing, puppies are considered humanity’s best friends.
However, just like us, dogs can be born with limited mobility or have it compromised due to age, disease or accidents. Accommodations for our furry friends can be hard to come by and may not fully accommodate their needs.
Before this situation Ford of Mexicoinspired by the great capacity of the Raptor family, presents P-Raptor, a vehicle designed for pets with limited mobility.
This idea was generated in the creative area of VMLYR (partners of Ford. While the materialization of the project was in charge of Ford de México engineers, who undertook the task of finding a mobility solution for loins.
“The biggest challenge was landing a creative idea on the real need for mobility in different puppies, which is why P-Raptor is a modular design, so it can be adapted to different sizes and needs”, mentioned Benjamín Dueñas, Product Development Engineer
This vehicle designed for dogs, which joins the most powerful family in the automotive industry, the family “performance”, It was designed from scratch by Mexican engineers, with a focus on Off-Road capabilities, that make it the perfect ally for the mobility, stability and fun of any dog, giving them the opportunity to conquer any terrain.
P-Raptor has a front grill, with the company’s distinctive blue oval logo, and lighting, to facilitate the mobility of dogs at night.
P-Raptor It has an electric motor that is located in the tires with distinctive dimensions, in order to enable more traction when moving. In addition, it has adaptable modular traction and a special support that allows the use of the front or rear axles. It also has a space dedicated to legs with little mobility and modular tires with sufficient distance and dimensions to prevent tipping and overcome any obstacle.
The chair will be available for 3D printing anywhere in the world soon, and it will only be enough to enter the measurements of the dog and the design file can be downloaded for free, generating pieces that can be easily assembled.
