The Swisscom EventStar: One truck - two storeys
At the end of 2010, Eilers Fahrzeugbau received a special enquiry from Swisscom AG, Switzerland's leading telecommunications company. Initial talks revealed the nature of the project: a massive challenge.
The customer wanted a truck with a fully roofed-over second storey - basically a house on wheels! That demanded completely new departures in design and hydraulics!
But the second storey wasn't the only special feature. There is also a vertical lift at the rear which can lift for instance a Smart car inside the truck.
The project turned out to be a big success. In September 2011, we delivered the house-sized vehicle complete with two storeys, glazed area, oriel, lifting platform, two small and one large balcony to Switzerland.
