The Moov design earns Jean-Michel Raad Best Vehicle Design award in the Corus sponsored 15, Coventry University MA Automotive Design Show held on 1 December 2005 at the Coventry Transport Museum.

For his design idea The Moov, Jean-Michel Raad won the Best Vehicle Design award in the Corus sponsored 15, a private view of the Coventry University MA Automotive Design Show held on 1 December 2005 at the Coventry Transport Museum.

The winning design was selected from a line-up of 15 international students by a judging panel that included David Godber, General Manager of Nissan Design Europe, and Gerry McGovern, Advanced Design Director at Land Rover.

Jon King, director of Corus Automotive and chair of the judging panel, said: "Jean-Michel Raad set high goals for a very demanding project and achieved them all".

"Everything looked like it would work and the concept has huge potential for real applications." McGovern added: "The Moov was everything an MA project should be about, including the presentation - pure passion, innovation and fantastic execution." Chris Johnson, Head of Industrial Design at Coventry University, said: "The MA Design Show is a great way to end what has been another very successful year for Coventry, not only did three of our design students win the opportunity of work experience within Ferrari or Pininfarina for their winning design, the Fiorano concept, but the F-Zero group concept was voted the best design by readers of the Sunday Times, and was also voted the best design on the official Ferrari web site".

Second prize at 15 went to Christopher Lavelanet for his Future New York City Taxi.

The third prize went to Alexis Julian Waterson for his Space, Form and Structure design.
