Inspiro-Warsaw's subway train car fuses recyclability and riding comfort

摘要

The latest train car Inspiro to be introduced in the fall of 2012 to the subway system in Warsaw, Poland, is being developed by Siemens, Germany, and BMW Designworks USA. While boasting a high degree of recyclability (95%), it places passenger comfort and ease-of-embarking/disembarking at its new core. Recyclabitity of existing subway train cars is approximately 75 - 90%, and the new figure is equivalent to that of the latest automobile. President of BMW Designworks USA, Laurenz Schaffer, says, "When competing with each other, towns and cities will secure advantages through the quality of their transportation systems. The possibilities for megacities to combine mobility with the interests of the public is the most crucial task when designing mobility."
