The design of electric vehicles will require the integration of new components in the near future. This transition is a key opportunity for a more radical change that allows for a positive transformation of passenger journey experience, interoperability and integration into the cityscape. The "Design Charter for Innovative Electric Busses" presents a design vision and strategies for the ecosystem of the "bus of tomorrow" that could inspire all sectors of the transportation industry.

1. International Design Forum 2018 – 19.09.2018
E-bus design charter: an inspiration
for innovation in rail vehicles ?

2. The present buses:
an evolution driven
by the technologies
No expression of the electric modernity
Visible fairings of technical outgrowths
Weird interiors due to technical
constraints
ELECTRIC
DIESEL
Exteriors Interiors
GAS
HYBRID

3. A design charter for
innovative E-buses
21 concepts distributed along the
customer journey, described in 8 steps.
The vehicle as an aggregator of the
concepts, not a project by itself

4. Concept example #1:
recognisable exterior
A concept illustrated (and not a
design project illustrated)
Added values for each stakeholder
(passengers, operators, cities,
manufacturers)

5. Concept example #2:
comfortable interior
A keyword summarizing each concept
A radical illustration to emphasize the
concept

6. SCENARIO
Action towards the
bus ecosystem
Target the buyers (PTA or PTO) and the
furnishers (manufacturers)
Let the stakeholders select a few concepts
from the scenario for incremental upgrade
