PRODUCT & EXPERIENCE DESIGN

Transportation Design

Milani is the leading Swiss innovation and product design company in the fields of public transport and tourism. We support companies in both industries in product and service design as well as in the development of complex mobility concepts. Skillfully and consistently customer-centered, Milani design combines the specific needs of companies and their customers with outstanding Swiss design and sustainability.

Means of transport create identity

Milani creates distinctive identities for the exterior and interior design of means of transport in long-distance, regional and urban traffic, not to mention mountain railroads. Milani’s design reflects each provider’s specific brand personality and is consistently focused on modern usability, sustainability and an exceptional driving experience.

 

For example, Bernmobil is successfully optimizing its processes together with Milani. Bernmobil receives the previously defined design from the offering manufacturers either in line with the design guidelines or as a one-to-one comparable solution. Milani then accompanies the implementation of the design ideas in cooperation with the manufacturers and the operators – right down to the last detail.

Sustainability and innovation in Transportation design

Public transport has a key role to play in sustainable mobility and energy-efficient transport development. The industry is therefore being called upon to take sustainability criteria into account along the entire value chain, from procurement to production and use to disposal. In the face of increasing electrification in transport and technological innovations such as autonomous driving, public transport also needs to evolve in order to maintain its environmental advantage and appeal.

 

Milani supports transport companies, manufacturers and suppliers in developing and implementing sustainable and future-proof concepts for buses, streetcars and trains. We identify opportunities to improve product sustainability and leverage eco-design and circular economy potentials. In doing so, we combine physical products with services. Digital twins enable the analysis of product product lifecycles in real time and contribute to efficiency and sustainability in rail transport.

LET'S TALK

We look forward to discussing how we can best support you.
