Abstract
The paper aims to describe a functional design methodology for the development of new products for the passenger transport vehicle sector through an innovative application process. The IBIS (Innovative Bus Integrated and Sustainable) project is part of a specific industrial research and experimental development program in the automotive sector, focused on the construction of an electric-powered modular bus with eco-sustainability characteristics. The project followed a collaborative process that involved researchers, experts in different disciplines and the supply chain of small and medium-sized Campania companies, with a view to integration, collaboration and hybridization of knowledge. The research investigates the evolution of sustainable mobility models in the post-digital scenario, focused on the smart city topic and sharing strategies with the automotive supply chain. Sustainability is the main reference of the research line with reference not only to the product but to the interaction with smart urban systems.
