GFG Rail

AVANTI VOYAGER BOMBARDIER
GFG Rail worked on the complete refurbishment of the fleet of Avanti West Coast, one of the main train companies operating in the United Kingdom, specifically the Alstom Pendolino, Bombardier Voyager and Hitachi AT300 trains.

The refurbishment concentrated on all interior areas, from saloons to vestibules and toilets, focusing on the best possible re-use of existing parts with a new color and trim, inspired by the new Avanti corporate image, presented in 2019. The bar too was affected by the renovation designed by GFG Rail.

Goal of the project was to modernize the fleet with specific, well-thought interventions, enhancing passenger experience and giving every single train a look that is nonetheless classic, elegant, but also with finishes and space organization that can support intense daily use.

OMNEO BOMBARDIER
During the styling development GFG Rail presents a wide range of different proposals, narrowing down the choice with the client as the styling phases move on. Computer graphics modeling is now essential in the design process.

In 2015, we worked on the design of a special version of the Omneo Bombardier, with specific focus on trying to create new modern solutions which could elevate train design into more modern trends. A specific, in-depth research was developed for the new seats, with different proposals analyzed in terms of shapes and functions, both for first and second class.

We constantly keep our technologies and experience updated to offer the best static renderings, animations and walkthroughs to achieve the optimal integration between virtual reality and scale mock-ups.

HITACHI TRAM TURIN
GFG Rail developed a vehicle of extreme simplicity, lightness and practicality. According with the main volume lines and surfaces, the lighting elements of the Hitachi Tram Turin emphasize the front and the rear end design. The header is shaped to the required circulatory requirements and offers the highest possible visibility to the driver.

On the headboard in the high front area is located the display with the line number and additional information (terminus, service status). The outer side and tail displays show the line number.

HITACHI METROLINK ONTARIO
The Ontario Line driverless subway train is a contemporary vehicle projected towards the future, characterized by a safe yet iconic appearance, standing out despite the platform screen doors.

The regular surfaces of the exterior side walls offer an excellent basis for characterizing the vehicle, also with possible wrappings. The basic white is enriched by an essential and modern livery with evident references to the Metrolinx logo, and references to the color of the lines on which the vehicle will run.

Note: Initial concept rendering. Designs - including finishings, signage and accessibility features - to be informed by further planning and consultation.
