User research validated the need for a compact, pedestrian operated electric tow tractor that is able to pull and push a wide variety of loads on wheels, such as roll containers, shopping trolleys and industry trolleys, in order to relieve the end-user’s physical effort. The main product drivers were related to the size of the Multi Mover-S (MM-S), the possibility to customise the battery, motor and coupling system and were related to the manufacturing costs with respect to the small batch size. Becoming the new benchmark in the compact electric tow tractor market was what the company was aiming for.
