Our business secures the Red Dot Award 2025, bestowed for the design of Avelia Stream Nordic X80.
The Avelia Stream Nordic X80 by Alstom has been honoured with the prestigious Red Dot Award 2025, recognising its innovative design that focuses on safety, environmental sustainability, and accessibility, specifically tailored for harsh Nordic conditions.
This high-speed train, capable of speeds up to 200 km/h, is engineered to reliably operate in Scandinavian climates, with temperatures ranging from –40 to +35 °C, and can run through up to 80 cm of snow.
Key features contributing to its award-winning design include energy-efficient systems such as regenerative braking and a low-drag aerodynamic profile, which enhance sustainability. The train's pressure-tight carbody ensures a quiet and smooth ride even at high speeds, tailored to Nordic environmental demands.
The passenger interior of Avelia Stream Nordic X80 blends quiet zones with social spaces, catering to both work and relaxation. It accommodates 270 seated passengers and includes multifunctional areas for bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs, contributing to an inclusive travel experience.
The train's lightweight construction and efficient traction system reduce energy consumption, making it a sustainable choice for rail transport in Northern Europe. Avelia Stream Nordic X80 builds on the company's proven high-speed platform and is specifically adapted for sustainable and accessible rail transport in the region.
Moreover, the train's braking energy is recovered through an electrodynamic system, further enhancing its energy efficiency. Avelia Stream Nordic X80 is equipped with extra-wide doors and easy access for all passengers, including those with reduced mobility and families with strollers, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
The Red Dot Award 2025 ceremony took place on 8 July in Essen, Germany, where Alstom received the accolade for its exceptional design and commitment to sustainable rail transport.
