Hitachi Rail
Hybrid regional train
In 2019, Trenitalia and Hitachi commissioned GFG Rail to fully design their new regional train for Italy, the subject of one of the largest nationwide tenders in the past 20 years.
BRAND: Hitachi
MODEL: HMU Single Deck Regional/Blues
YEAR: 2020
TYPE: Regional/intercity Train
DESIGNER: Fabrizio Giugiaro
Design work, in terms of style, modeling, and feasibility, was carried out for both the interior and exterior of the train. All areas were designed with the specific requirements of the clients in mind: lounges, vestibules, toilets, and bicycle areas. GFG Rail worked initially as a train designer for the manufacturer, then as a design consultant for the train operator (Trenitalia), taking care of all activities until their final validation.
