Metro-Plattform Inspiro
Siemens AG
Design: BMW Group DesignworksUSA, Munich Studio Tom Allemeier
The focal elements in the development of the metro platform were energy efficiency and environmental acceptability all the way from production up to daily operation, as well as almost complete recyclability (ca. 95%). The weight of a six-car train has been reduced by around 18 tonnes through lightweight construction and a weight-optimised chassis. Particular attention has been paid to the utilisation of already recycled secondary materials as well as an inviting interior design.

»The metro platform is characterised reduced material- and energy consumption and good recyclability. Particular added value is generated by increased passenger comfort. There is a growth of awareness around the topic of public transportation, which is promoting a shift from private to public transport.«
