Red Dot Design Award 2022: New Gen Citea
This year we were nominated for, and won, two Red Dot Design Awards, including our work on the VDL Bus & Coach New Gen Citea.
A scalable, sustainable solution for cities transitioning to net-zero, this electric city bus is designed to encourage participation in public transportation today and anticipate developments in payment systems and autonomous driving tomorrow. Innovations like a single piece of curved composite framing not only cut weight but create a more open, inviting interior, while the electric drivetrain allows for a flat floor that is easy for passengers to navigate. The driver’s cabin also sets new standards for ergonomics, steering adjustments, and dashboard space.
Jury statement
