Johan Neerman worked for Peugeot for about two years, doing design studies for the 2007-2009 car range.
In 2000 he designed a low-draft fast ferry boat for Royal Denship in Denmark with the naval architect Herward Oehlmann.<ref name="Smets, Francis 2002"/>

== Naval design ==
Johan Neerman worked on different naval designs in collaboration with German Naval architect Herward Oehlmann.<ref name="Smets, Francis 2002"/> Johan Neerman designed a low-draft ferry boat for Royal denship in Denmark in 2000.<ref name="Febvre, Jacqueline P.C"/> The boat carry 366 passengers and 45 metres long. The main idea was to give the ferry boat a private yacht look. The ferry boat is about 45 metres long. His next work "Trimaran" is 99 metres long and 45 metres wide with a cruising speed of 35 knots and autonomy of 7500 nautical miles.
The entire ship is designed like a PlayStation, where inside and outside spaces contribute to the playfulness of open, semi-closed and open spaces.<ref name="Smets, Francis 2002"/> The length of the ship was determined by the wish to integrate the tender for 36 people and crew in the stern of the rear central hull part and to allow harboring of the tender while the master ship cruises and 30 knots inside the main hull. The length of the boat also allowed any steps to be avoided, making use only of slopes. All glass windows are bullet-proof and the hull has been compartmentalized. Ship is able to stay afloat and remain as light as possible.<ref name="Deryckere, Filip 1998">Deryckere, Filip (April 1998). "Johan Neerman". Industriele Vormgeving 32: 7-12.</ref>

Early life

Johan Neerman was born in 1959 in Belgium (Kortrijk).[6] His father, Philippe Neerman, was Belgian industrial designer.[7] Neerman studied architecture at the Institut Supérieur d'Architecture Victor Horta in Brussels (1980–1985). During his studies he did a thesis on applied systems theory with Professor Paul Tahon, ergonomist. He joined the Kiyonori Kikutake office in Tokyo in 1985 and after 1 year joined the army and went to the United States.[4] There he studied at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.[4] He studied Social Systems Sciences under the guidance of Professor Hasan Ozbekhan. During those years he focused on Chaos Theory. He worked on his research with Michele Sanglier and Ilya Prigogine.

Experience

Worked on architectural and transport systems projects with IDPO Ph Neerman.[8][9] After in 1999 he took over family business.[10] Neerman is a member of organizations: the Scientific committee of ISD Valenciennes, FIA, BBCBC, Brussels Town Planning Federation (FBU) and the UDB.[11] He has been teaching as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belarus in 2000. Johan Neerman worked on wide variety of projects from transport systems to naval architecture.[12] In 1995 he totally renovate Château de Pierrefitte and all included buildings.[4] His next project was the Poil Municipality.[13]

Concept

The Johanson3 electric scooter concept is to replace current polluting and inefficient means of transportation in suburban and urban areas [14] [15][16] . It is the first light stable vehicle with high payload capacity also designed for women and children.[15][17]
