This book aims to be an inspiring source of design concepts and product ideas for the next generation of passenger environments. Based on extensive research and surrounding world analysis, the project team of industrial designers present ideas for how to enhance the travel experience and meet the demands of tomorrow's travellers.
In addition, several students from different design disciplines have been involved to gain deeper knowledge of the different parts and functions of the train. The design work has generated hundreds of ideas and design concepts ready to be developed into final products and services.
The Green Train (Gröna Tåget) is a national Swedish research programme with an ambition to develop attractive trains as a sustainable and efficient future travel alternative. The project is a collaboration between manufacturers, science and operators and the research should function as a bank of ideas for the railway industry in the future.
