Project Description
TORSUS PRAETORIAN
THE WORLD’S FIRST HEAVY-DUTY 4×4 OFF-ROAD BUS
The world’s first heavy-duty 4×4 off-road bus, the Torsus Praetorian is designed to transport personnel and equipment across rough ground and in tough conditions.
The WERKEMOTION design studio was responsible for the design of the exterior, interior and more than 20 configurations of the Torsus bus. The goal was to design a unique identity for this new Torsus brand. This Beast is based on a heavy-duty MAN chassis powered by MAN engines and a drive train.

03. Design Process
Development
Werkemotion design studio was part of the development from the very beginning of the project to the start of the series production.
We were responsible for creating a new design language for the Torsus brand, which was intended to visually and functionally represent off-road ambitions. We then translated this design language into the first mass-produced off-road bus, the Praetorian.
Design Dev Video
Concept Stage
We started with sketches. Our main focus was to create a new ``face`` for Torsus products.
The result is an offroad bus that visually stands out and brings recognition to the brand.
Prototyping Stage
We closely collaborated with Torsus engineers to merge a new visual identity with all technical requirements.
We transformed main ideas from sketches to 3D models for manufacturing.
