Ethos

New consumer trends are posing a challenge to the railway industry. Technology is an increasingly large part of our day-to-day lives, and for this reason Mondragon University and CAF have built a theoretical future that is full of potential, rises to the challenges and explores new speculative possibilities for the trains of the future.

The concept presented here is Ethos, a train that offers a personalized experience and achieves an efficient flow of travelers through the concept of door-to-door. The mobility scheme will consist of autonomous hybrid vehicles that passengers access in an urban context, to then be conducted to a long-distance train that will serve as the axis for long-distance travel. This train will offer a common space in its central structure, providing a place for social interaction and recreation. This promising proposal embraces the burst of new trends in the railway industry.
