Hydra Design Labs

While Hydra Design Labs built its reputation on world-class automotive design and development, our team is experienced in all forms of transportation design. Here we have a concept for a scooter that Hydra designed for an EV startup in the Southeast Asian market. In the ASEAN region, two-wheel vehicles are a major part of the transportation infrastructure so developing innovative E-Scooters and other LEV is a key focus for a lot of OEMs. For more info on our past projects and unique approach, visit HydraDesignLabs.com #ElectricVehicles #EV #LEV #MotorcycleDesign #EScooter #Scooter #VehicleDesign #DesignStudio #Design #Prototype #AutomotiveDesign #CarDesign

The AC Future Ai-TH debut at #CES2025 last month made quite an impression! The Ai-TH (AI-Transformer Home) prototype that Hydra designed and developed generated a lot of buzz with media with both CNET and CBC recognizing the Ai-TH as a top innovation at CES. Since its debut, the Ai-TH prototype has been covered by more than 350 media outlets around the world, including Yahoo Tech, Electrek, EV Report, Autopian, Motor 1, The Sun, and more! ????

Blending smart design with cutting-edge technology is what makes the AC Future Ai-TH a major step forward in mobile living. In addition to expanding walls that enhance the living space, the vehicle is equipped with high-capacity solar panels (5kw+) that capture and convert sunlight into electricity and an atmospheric water generation system that converts moisture from the air into ambient clean water daily. This eco-friendly innovation gives the Ai-TH unparalleled flexibility for off-the-grid living and adapts to the specific needs of the user.

When two world-class automotive design studios collaborate on the same project, the results can be revolutionary. That’s exactly what happened when Hydra Design Labs evolved the AC Future eTH design from Pininfarina into the Ai-TH (AI-Transformable Home). “Developing a vehicle with another design team’s concept vision as the starting point presented some interesting challenges. Pininfarina defined the aesthetic and functional identity with the eTH concept, and our designers wanted to preserve the integrity of their original vision. But before our team could engineer and build the functional prototype, there was a lot of design needed to shape the interior and exterior for technical feasibility – a critical step for a vehicle this large, with so many moving parts. The end result is a groundbreaking new vehicle that stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and represents combined expertise from two world-class names in automotive design.” – Jon Hull, CEO of Hydra Design Labs On the left is Pininfarina’s original concept renderings for the eTH and on the right is how Hydra evolved this design vision into the Ai-TH, before the prototype stage.

Vehicle designers need to be on the cutting edge of predicting upcoming trends – and that’s especially important for CMF (Colors, Materials, Finish) designers. Sometimes those predictions are perfectly on point. For example, early in the design process for the AC Future Ai-TH, Hydra’s CMF team chose a bronze-metallic brown shade for prototype exterior more than six months before Pantone named the near identical “Mocha Mousse” as the 2025 Color of the Year. It’s almost like we predicted the future...

With the AC Future Ai-TH, the Hydra Design Labs team had the interesting challenge of designing two products in one. As an electric RV, the Ai-TH needed a stylish exterior shape that would give it a distinct identity and remain true to the original concept design, but also meet the requirements of a long-distance road vehicle. But this vehicle also needed to serve as a home on wheels. Since it expands at the push of a button to 400 sq. ft., the Ai-TH opens a world of design solutions that make its interior feel inviting and spacious, with all the amenities and technology of a modern smart home. The best of both worlds! Learn more at HydraDesignLabs.com #ElectricVehicles #EV #AutomotiveDesign #VehicleDesign #DesignStudio #CarDesign #ACFuture #CarDesign #Design #Prototype #CES2025

When designing a transforming vehicle this large, the exterior of the AC Future Ai-TH presented a challenge. It needed an elegant and modern exterior shape, but also needed to adapt for an expansion nearly doubling its size. At the push of a button, the walls of the Ai-TH expand to 400 sq. ft., offering a customized living experience. Every inch of the Ai-TH was guided by design and engineering principles, ensuring that functionality and user experience were prioritized while remaining true to the original concept vision. The final result is more than just an electric RV, it’s a complete reimagining of mobile living that (quite literally!) expands the possibilities.

The AC Future Ai-TH (AI-Transformable Home) is a rolling showcase of what’s possible when our design and engineering teams work seamlessly together over every aspect of a vehicle. Space is a premium in any RV and that’s especially true for a compact vehicle like the Ai-TH. Every inch of the vehicle’s interior blends cutting-edge technology with the feel of a luxury home. The overall aesthetic of the Ai-TH’s interior is modern and elegant, with efficient use of space for storage and functionality while delivering luxurious appointments, modern amenities and smart technology.

Introducing the AC Future Ai-TH! The Hydra team is proud to be at CES in Las Vegas today to officially unveil a fully functional prototype of the Ai-TH (AI Transformable Home), our latest project with AC Future. The Ai-TH is a revolution in sustainable mobile living and the ultimate example of how smart design can deliver real-world solutions. Hydra led the design and development with AC Future, from designing the interior and exterior to engineering and fabrication of the prototype and every step in between. The result is a zero-emissions housing solution that transforms at the push of a button into a 400 sq. ft. smart home with complete off-grid capabilities, including solar charging, water generation and internet connectivity. The working prototype of the Ai-TH debuted today at AC Future’s display (North Hall – Booth 10515) and will be on display throughout CES this week.
