dc.description.abstract	Global trends and technological developments radically transform the transportation industry. Its main challenges include meeting the increasing demand for urban mobility and delivery services while simultaneously addressing issues such as the requirement to reduce traffic congestion, limited parking space and environmental pollution. Meeting the described challenge requires methodical discipline to answer vehicle users' needs. This dissertation proposes a method for the conceptual design of innovative vehicles that meet customers' needs and challenges based on customers' valued attributes. The methodology is demonstrated in the proposed vehicle concept: a narrow-track leaning vehicle with the road signature of a motor scooter and the cargo capacity of a small four-wheeled vehicle aimed for low to high range and speed last-mile delivery. The study presents a comprehensive methodology to tailor the vehicle parameters based on total annual costs of delivery and energy consumption, while maintaining good manoeuvrability and stability. The result parameters are later used to demonstrate the benefits of a range of these vehicles, in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness, compared to traditional four-wheeled delivery vehicles. It compares the performance of the proposed vehicle with a four-wheeled vehicle in delivery operations, in short-range, mid-mile city use and megacity scenarios. Additionally, the method addresses the manoeuvrability and stability of the proposed vehicle to ensure that such an innovative concept can be safely controlled. The findings underscore that the proposed vehicle has lower total annual costs of delivery, lower energy consumption, and higher delivery efficiency than the traditional vehicle. The findings also demonstrate sufficient vehicle manoeuvrability and stability. The dissertation concludes that the methodology guided the design to present a narrow-track leaning vehicle concept with a high potential for reducing financial costs, mitigating negative environmental impact, and improving urban mobility.	cs
