BLS MIKA:
First impressions count: the expressive front section gives the train a striking look. Many well thought-out details make the train a design icon on rails.
Dynamic Optics
The dynamically cut front cabin of the FLIRT 200 guides its surfaces past the underlying crash structure with millimetre precision. The dynamic lines of the joint pattern emphasise the spirited character of the train. Behind this are ingenious detailed solutions. For example, the windscreen wiper axle is elegantly concealed behind the Stadler Wing. Even the arrangement of the horn slots blends seamlessly into the overall appearance.

With Design Engineering to an Independent Appearance
The innovative design of the headlights is in line with the applicable standards. It picks up on current trends in automotive engineering. The shapes of the LED elements quote the design language of the BLS logo and thus ensure an unmistakable appearance of the new train composition.

Optimized for Maintenance
The various elements of the front cab are designed for fast maintenance cycles. The windscreen and other elements can be replaced in a short time. This minimises downtime.

The minimalist livery further develops the appearance of the BLS double-decker. The brand elements are reinterpreted and presented in a striking way. They also provide better orientation when boarding.
Striking Window Strip
The window bands of the individual carriages characterise the side view of the BLS FLIRT. They reinforce the striking appearance of the train and fit coherently into the overall visual concept.

Visibility Ensures Accessibility
The door frames are integrated into the window strip. The resulting contrast ensures better visibility. The entrance is thus clearly marked and makes orientation easier for people with visual impairments.

The fresh BLS light green in combination with the silver base colour was the core element of one of our first branding projects. It's great that we were able to reinterpret it again in this comprehensive transportation design project!
