A local company based just a mile away from Neat Vehicles, Clayton Glass asked us to design a striking 3,500 Kg Mobile Exhibition Vehicle and Showroom for their sales initiative. We came up with this vehicle and Clayton Glass themselves came up with some features for the unit based on what they wanted to display. The Neat Vehicles Displayflex 3500 is based on the Renault Master platform cab and has a 4.7 metre body on the back of the cab with a low level floor. On the nearside of the unit is a triangular hydraulic canopy with LED colourchange striplight which forms an entrance along with the shaped fold out display panels with a striking graphic wrap over the blue paintwork. Double width doors and steps feature on the entrance and the doors can fold to one end giving a good clear area on an internal exhibition or on a nice day. Below the canopy is an LED screen set into the body work behind Claytons anti-reflective glass. Walking into the unit, on the left hand side is a plinth with a heat lamp with a sliding top frame so different types of glass can be demonstrated with regard to their thermal properties. Carrying on round the display panels and vertical LED screen on the back wall show different types of glass, there is a central display cabinet sunk into the counter, and a fridge built into the cupboards. Two I pads in bouncepad units are on the counter top for web information.

Situated in the roof are 5 different types of glass to demonstrate different tints and one of them has a heating element. On the rear wall is an Angel of the North graphic with three windows over it, the first has electric blinds, the second is an electrically switched privacy glass, and the third is an electro chromatic tintable glass. Moving round the room further to the window are two interchangeable sections of glass showing different kinds of privacy frosting with the light from the window behind them.

All of this is powered by two 12 Volt 300 Ah lithium batteries and an inverter which is charged by two 185w solar panels on the roof, by mains via the charger unit and by split charger from the engine as it goes along. The hydraulics and electrics are in an external locker on the offside and heating is provided by an Eberspaecher 12 Volt Heater.
