Gruau presents the Zuo Van, a van layout that allows you to easily switch from professional use to a leisure configuration thanks to a dedicated piece of furniture and a modular cabin.
The Lyon branch of the Gruau group, which specializes in the transformation of vehicles, is presenting a new layout for vans called Zuo Van. Its concept is twofold because it is designed to meet both utilitarian and leisure use. With this proposal, Gruau intends to seduce professionals eyeing converted vans.
Large drawers for professionals
The centerpiece of the Zuo Van is the box installed just behind the second row of seats and which occupies all the remaining floor space up to the rear doors of the vehicle. Its dimensions make it possible in particular to place a pallet on it. This cabinet has three deep drawers : two are used to store equipment, while the third can be used as a work surface. The interior walls of the cabin, made of wood, can be equipped with storage. So much for the utility part.

Modular storage and sleeping
Obviously, said drawers are capable of accommodating all kinds of objects, in particular dedicated to leisure activities. The second-row seats can be removed to make way for a cargo space that can accommodate, for example, a bicycle. At the end of the box, interior side, a lift-up shelf allows the top of the cabinet to be transformed into a bed. The standard range does not include any sanitary or food equipment, but an electrical converter is offered as an option to supply various devices.
Presented on a Peugeot Expert, the Zuo Van fittings can be adapted to all compact utility vehicles of L1 or L2 length. On the price side, count between €3,800 excluding VAT for the piece of furniture alone and €11,000 excluding VAT for a complete layout, knowing that many “à la carte” configurations are offered between the two.
