The Sea Drive Concept prototype from Peugeot brings to the world of boating the i-Cockpit concept that the brand uses for the driver’s workstation in its road cars.
Peugeot Design Lab, the brand’s ideas laboratory Peugeot, created in 2012, has designed a pleasure boat for Bénéteau, the world leader in this sector. The Sea Drive Concept is a fully functional prototype that combines two innovative concepts in the design of the driver’s workstation.
The i-Cockpit and Ship Control technology for the hyper-connected boat
In the case of Peugeot, the reference is the i-Cockpit, which is already used in more than 4 million vehicles of the brand. It is a concept based on a small-diameter steering wheel to ensure maneuverability. In addition, it allows the instrument display to be placed above it. The main data thus remain in the driver’s direct line of sight. It is used in most Peugeot models, and in the case of the SUV range it is combined with a design featuring switches on both sides of the steering wheel, similar in appearance to aircraft controls. These controls allow direct access to the vehicle’s main functions. The latest application is the i-Cockpit amplify of the new Peugeot 508.
In the Sea Drive Concept, the Peugeot i-Cockpit is combined with the Ship Control interface from Bénéteau. This is a technology that the French manufacturer integrates into its boats so that each crew member can access all functions. This includes everything from lighting and air conditioning to fuel tanks or engine rotation speed, through to all navigation parameters. Individual tablets allow speed, currents, position, depth, etc. to be monitored. As in the Peugeot automobiles, the central axis of the system here is also a touchscreen, in this case 17 inches.
