Index visited the newly opened innovative vehicle design workshop of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, where young talents have been trained in close cooperation with the lead designers of Mercedes-Benz for 20 years, and things are picking up speed.
The goal is to change the role of Hungary from pure assembly workshop to a creative and innovative contributor to the car production of the future.
