Concept Transporters has never been known for building the average,
the minimum, or the basic. When Bruce Canepa founded the company,
he envisioned bringing his design skills and intense attention to
detail to the trucking/transportation industry. 35 years working
with major automotive and truck manufacturers, clients asking for
projects that few could undertake and bring to reality, Concept
Transporters has become synonymous with forward thinking, design,
quality, ingenuity, and utility.
The vision of this project started with a Mercedes/Freightliner
Argosy. The body was built from formed aluminum panels,
incorporating a "rivet-less" design to maintain a sleek European
exterior finish. The interior of the transporter was designed to be
as flexible as possible by incorporating a number of special design
features (allowing vehicle to be stacked two high). This includes
adjustable decking for different sized vehicles, a 6,000lb
hydraulic lift gate, generator system, air compressor, 110-220
electrical outlets, interior and exterior lighting. The entire
rig's exterior was painted in a custom grey pearl metallic
color.
One of the major highlights of the MotorCoach-Transporter is having
an entertainment space while at an event. The custom living
quarters has been prepared with integrated insulation and lining.
This ensures that noise levels are minimal to none, ensuring a
quite relaxing space. The space is also climate controlled, keeping
your occupants comfortable regardless of the ambient temperature
outside. With a spacious seating area, entertainment system,
private bathroom enclosure, etc. provides event enjoyment at a
"five star" level.
A key feature (and requirement) of transporters is utility and
space for all the necessary items. This transporter incorporates a
custom belly-box system that allows for more than enough space for
supplies, tools, parts; easily accessible from the exterior. Onan
12.5kW water-cooled generator that powers all accessory systems
throughout the transporter. A number of electrical outlets are
available inside of the belly boxes, as well as a compressed air
outlet.
Concept Transporters upgraded the entire cab interior of the
Argosy, making the space a comfortable and inviting place to spend
time while driving to the next destination. Custom tan leather
upholstery with grey and tan leather accents was incorporated
throughout the cabin. No surface was left untouched; disassembled,
and reupholstered to the highest quality standards. Important for
transporting valuable cargo in sometimes less-than-ideal spaces, a
rearview camera was added to make maneuvering easier.
Complete, ready to go, and loaded with features to make any
automotive event as easy and enjoyable as possible. The Argosy is
"state of the art" in vehicle transportation and event luxury.
