Toray Industries has announced that the APURE Shuttle has won a Design Concept 2024 category prize in the Red Dot Design Award programme.

The company, subsidiary Toray Industries Europe GmbH, Rhein-Main Verkehrsverbund, or RMV, and neomind GmbH developed this approach to revolutionising 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 recognised 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 mock-up interior of APURE at its booth at InnoTrans 2024, the international trade fair for transport technology. This event at Messe Berlin is from 24–27 September 2024.

The company will keep leveraging its core technologies of synthetic organic and polymer chemistry, biotechnology, and nanotechnology to innovate materials in keeping with its commitment to delivering new value and contributing to social progress.
