Zefiro trains can significantly reduce travelling times between major cities and boost interregional economic growth. The trains' high-class aerodynamic performance is a key element in reducing excessive noise. This provides environmental advantages related to noise pollution controls and offers increased comfort for riders. Train cars and connection points are designed to reduce pressure differences when traveling in and out of tunnels at high speeds.
The German Design Award is the German Design Council's international premium prize. It is bestowed upon high-grade products, product and communication design projects, design celebrities and upcoming talents, all of whom are trailblazing in their own special way on the German and international design scene.
