RV3.0
ORANGE SKY’S NEW REMOTE VEHICLE
THE PROBLEM
Orange Sky Australia needed a new vehicle variant, capable of providing reliable washing services with less environmental impact to geographically remote communities.
THE SOLUTION
Boe Design worked with Orange Sky to design & build the RV3.0 - a robust truck consisting of three washers and three dryers, powered by the onboard solar-charged battery bank. The RV3.0 won a 2022 Good Design Award for the Social Impact category. In June 2023, we celebrated our 10th RV3.0 build, with four more being currently built during 2024.
