Strate College has become a major source of recruitment for automotive design studios in France and internationally, and is considered as one of the leading European design schools for automotive design.
Nicolas Blondeau proposed a narrow-track medical rescue vehicle for urban use, while Alexis Martot looked at the vehicle as a living space, with inspiration from home and furniture environments.
Thomas Prevost took into account people with reduced mobility in his vehicle interior concept, and Julien Montousse showed a working prototype of a personal submersible vehicle, including video footage of the vehicle in use underwater.
