Abstract
This relates to a front trunk including a moveable platform. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a motor vehicle, including: a front trunk including a platform configured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position, wherein, when the platform is in the retracted position, a panel on a top of the platform provides a floor of the front trunk, and wherein, when the platform is in the deployed position, the panel provides a work surface.

A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a front trunk including a platform configured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position, wherein, when the platform is in the retracted position, a panel on a top of the platform provides a floor of the front trunk, wherein, when the platform is in the deployed position, the panel provides a work surface,
- wherein the platform is configured to slide in a direction parallel to a centerline of the motor vehicle when moving between the retracted and deployed positions,
- wherein the panel is supported by a recess in a top of the platform,
- wherein a front surface of the platform provides at least a portion of a front bumper of the motor vehicle, and
- wherein the platform includes a drawer configured to slide relative to the platform.
