A specialist in transportation design practice and in the area of low carbon vehicles (LCVs) Matteo Conti works as a Senior Tutor for the MA in Vehicle Design at the Royal College of Art. His ambition and main objective has always been to successfully combine in-depth research and design practice with applied teaching in order to provide the best possible learning experience and deliver valuable creative design output to industry. His work includes the publication of a few academic papers in the field of LCVs as well as live-industrial collaboration projects, one of which culminated in the exterior redesign of the Avid CU-EV (in limited production) and another for the design of a new electric scooter for Elecscoot (for large volume production).

Conti’s aim is to further develop ongoing industrial/academic collaboration, and commercial value for business both through contract research, ideally in the area of LCVs.
