Toray Industries, Inc., announced that the APURE Shuttle has won a Design Concept 2024 category prize in the Red Dot Design Award  program (see note 1). The company, subsidiary Toray Industries Europe GmbH, Rhein-Main Verkehrsverbund, or RMV, (note 2), and neomind GmbH (note 3) developed this approach  to revolutionizing public transport with innovative technology, sustainability and user oriented design. 

Neomind developed the APURE design concept by fully leveraging the Toray Group’s advanced materials and drawing on information on the passenger needs and regulatory  knowledge and standards that RMV amassed through its EASY (Electric Autonomous Shuttle  for You) pilot project. The prize recognized the sustainable interior design featuring plant based and recycled materials and the practical layout balancing high capacity, safety, and comfort. 

Toray will showcase a boardable mockup interior of APURE at its booth at InnoTrans 2024, the international trade fair for transport technology. This event at Messe Berlin is from Tuesday, September 24 through Friday, September 27.
