In the auto industry, design departments create camouflage patterns to disguise future products while they are being tested on open roads, leaving a bit of mystery for the new vehicle’s debut. Newsweek was given the unique opportunity to design a camouflage wrap for a brand-new vehicle—not just to disguise specific features underneath, but to also show off a brand-new electric truck to the public for the first time.
Slate
Coming to market soon: A new American electric vehicle company. Slate is poised to disrupt the new car market with a radically simple solution to the common affordable car.
Founded on the principle of redefining cost-effective transportation, Slate aims to beat Tesla to the punch with an inexpensive compact electric vehicle for the everyman. That means that customers have more purchasing power for choices with a Slate than when shopping for a new vehicle at a traditional car dealership.
Though it’s a startup, Slate is run by a group of auto industry veterans and American industry leaders, with female leaders as CEO and head of design.
Slate will fully reveal itself on April 24. Visit Newsweek.com/autos for more about it starting on the 24th.
