Transportation design

The world’s first trackless tram DRT (Digital-rail Rapid Transit), full-electric, designed for CRRC Nanjing Puzhen.

Our team was inspired by the essence of Asian’s innovative cities, tech-hubs and these cities’ colourful night illumination for the design process. The result of this process is a unique and highly innovative DRT design with a strong identity. This is achieved through a combination of clean, soft and dynamic shapes, a black-white-grey colour mix and high-tech style patterns. Moreover, the distinctive front features a combination with iconic light design that reinforces the cutting-edge technology look of this DRT design.

Exterior Design

Bold and futuristic design.

The exterior design of this DRT stands out for its bold and futuristic aesthetic, combining black and metallic tones to express both technological precision and urban elegance. The geometric graphic patterns that run along the body give rhythm and structure to the volume, while the light signature defines its personality, a striking element that makes it instantly recognisable in motion or at rest.
This design breaks away from conventional public transport language, introducing a new visual code for future mobility: sleek, confident and distinctly modern.

Detail Design

Powerful lighting.

Every line and every light in the DRT is carefully designed to communicate innovation. The headlights and rear light clusters are sculpted as precise luminous shapes that transform the vehicle’s expression from day to night. Under daylight, soft reflections highlight the dynamic geometry of the surfaces, while at night, the iconic light signature takes centre stage, reinforcing the sense of movement, technology and identity.
