The SmartMod SUV: A revolutionary modular solution
One of Auto Transform’s latest standout innovations is the SmartMod SUV – a versatile, removable modular draw unit designed for popular mid-size SUVs like the RAV4 and Outlander. This customisable unit allows users to start with a base model and build out according to their specific needs.
Key features include: a slide-out tray with universal toolbox compatibility, allowing easy access or removal for on-the-go tasks. Two large storage drawers, a pull-out bench workspace, and a top storage tray perfect for PPE gear. Accessories like ladder holders, fire extinguishers, and inverter options enhance functionality.
The SmartMod SUV reflects Auto Transform’s commitment to making life easier and more efficient for its users by delivering practical, innovative solutions.
Looking Ahead – the new service body
Auto Transform is set to launch a new service body in early 2025, promising to further simplify and improve user experiences. The design focus includes enhanced safety, practical features, and significant weight reduction, allowing for a wider variety of modular configurations. According to Joshua Stanners, “Our new service body is all about transforming your workspace with refined functionality and flexibility. It’s a testament to our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions.”
Auto Transform continues to lead through a steadfast commitment to research and development, constantly innovating to deliver the best possible outcomes for their customers. “We strive to keep offering the best solutions through ongoing innovation and investment in R&D,” adds Stanners.
With a strong foundation built on quality, innovation, and reliability, Auto Transform remains New Zealand’s leading vehicle customisation company, ready to meet the future with SMART solutions that make a real difference.
