Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002466

A portmanteau of "front" and "trunk," referring to a storage compartment located at the front of a vehicle, where the engine would traditionally be found. This design is common in electric vehicles, which do not require a large engine bay, and in some rear-engined sports cars. The frunk provides additional cargo space, often suitable for smaller items or charging cables.
