Anthony Semeraro

I am always looking to lead innovation towards a more exhilarating future, and I constantly look beyond the limits to strive to achieve the unachievable. My main passions include product and automotive design in which I try to incorporate one into the other when designing products. My main inspiration comes from existing well-known products, existing vehicles, and upcoming technology advancements to help make my vision a reality that not only builds upon established concepts but also pioneers innovative solutions for the future. I enjoy designing products with streamline curves similar to those found on vehicles to help make the products I design act as beautiful furniture pieces when they are not in use. My drive to never be satisfied and my constant need to improve products in every way is an essential attribute to my personal design language.

The Four Essential Pillars for Design Excellence

The four essential pillars encompass human-centric design approach and the understanding of full-bodied, three dimensional physical interaction of user, product and environment. The projects generate innovative solutions using research-driven, evidence-based designs which focus on the user experience.

Enhancement of Human Lifestyle

The rear elevator lift reduces the paramedic's back strain when loading the stretcher or simply entering the vehicle.

The rear elevator platform extends from the base of the vehicle in two sections and lowers to the ground for easy loading or unloading. The vehicle’s all-terrain track system enables the possibility of conquering tough snowy terrain. The four-wheel steering system allows for the vehicle to take tighter turns minimizing its turn radius.

Human-Interaction & User-Centric Design

The interior design of the vehicle is meticulously designed with a focus on improving the human experience.

Every aspect, from the layout of the driver’s area to the arrangement of storage is carefully considered to ensure maximum convenience and usability for passengers. The collapsible side ladder is designed to hide inside of the vehicle’s body creating a secondary entry method for the driver to enter the vehicle.

Sustainability & Social Responsibility

Summiteer’s goal as an outdoor-oriented vehicle is to prevent harming the environment while saving people’s lives while staying reliable and utilizing the possibility of reusing materials.

The fabrics are plant-based while the leather is vegan. The entirety of the vehicle’s frame is made from recycled aluminum. Summiteer features a hybrid engine to reduce emissions while ensuring reliable performance, especially in cold weather conditions, where electric power alone may compromise range.

Project Summary

The success rate of rural rescue operations can be widely based on numerous factors such as weather conditions, availability of resources, rescue efficiency, and the severity of injuries. Summiteer is an emergency response vehicle oriented for rural northern environments that enables the ability to conduct rescue operations in a more efficient and safer manner ensuring the safety of patients. With its robust design and specialized features, Summiteer addresses the unique challenges of remote areas, providing responders with the necessary tools to navigate harsh conditions and deliver timely assistance to those in need.
