한국의 경형 화물자동차의 유형화 및 디자인 특징 고찰

초록

This study aimed to identify the implications for design change directions of light trucks used in Korea, with the floating logistic industry change to courier logistics, and increasing online commerce during the pandemic, by reviewing light trucks produced from the 1960s to today. Selected 14 vehicles, starting with the Ace to PV5, were observed in terms of their rebuilt package body, cabin, and deck proportion layouts. Cabin spacing with the distances from the front wheel center to the hip point and end point of the driver’s foot, including cabin length and loading deck proportions of the vehicles, was analyzed. The results present that the evident trend is increasing cabin proportions compared to those of decks for passenger safety in vehicles. The findings also imply that changing the common Korean light truck design with bigger cabin proportions, including a box-type loading deck, can significantly influence the Korean logistics and courier industry’s high-frequency lightweight parcel delivery transportation.
