Award winning exterior design

In 2022, Alstom won the “Good Design Award™” for the exterior appearance of the Coradia high-capacity train for German customer, LNVG. In its motivation, The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies said, “The closed and tidy modelled shape with invisible anti climbers supports the dynamic character visually and optimise the aerodynamic performance and low noise emission of the front end." The new front of the train is, "characterised by the contrast of soft modelled free form surfaces with a distinctive clear 'streamline' edge, with optimised aerodynamic performance for energy consumption and noise."
