Prefix constructed a 5 foot long scale model of an Alcoa bus for the 2008 Beijing Internation Automotive Exhibition. The scale model's right side shows the engineering structure in detail, whilst the left side represents the exterior surface. Prefix's attention to detail can be seen in the 5-axis CNC machined aluminum wheels, custom cast rubber tires, cut lines and lamp lenses. This model is to display Yutong's drive to create eco-friendly aluminum busses for the 2008 Olympics.

Prefix's latest generation PVM has been featured in an Item case study. Using extruded aluminum as the main structural element we were able to achieve
greater ranges of motion while reducing overall weight and component build times. The material also allows for a modular PVM design approach where components such as a seat and steering column can be built with provisions to add additional axes of motion such as a center console or pedal assembly later.
