THE ART
OF TRANSPORTATION DESIGN.
R1: WAY FROM IDEA
TO EXECUTION
The most innovative tram in the world created by a Russian team.
Chief designer of the project Alexey Maslov describes his approach with the formula:
VEHICLE + ARCHITECTURE = VEHITECTURE


About R1
A futuristic vehicle, the design of which was been actively discussed in social networks and medias, is the development of a subsidiary of UralVagonZavod (UVZ).

VEHITECTURE — best reflects the new interdisciplinary space of vehicle design and architecture where the concept of R1 was created.



One of the main objectives of the R1 tram is to change residents' attitudes to the very idea of public transport. R1 will increase the appeal of public transport.
The design keynote of the new R1 line was the black ural semi-precious stone in metal frame, whose mirror surface literally reflects the city, becoming its integral and harmonious part.
The high level of comfort and the modern visual solution offered by the tram enable it to meet the needs of a large part of the population, who make daily trips from remote areas to the urban city.
The tram driver's cab is comfortable and functional as the entire interior.
Combining intelligent engineering with a fundamentally new approach in industrial design, the R1 tram raises the living standards in the megalopolis and sets a new level in public transport across the country.
The variability of the trams lies with its various configurations, while the design and engineering quality remains the same.
The R1 design is based on a special approach to the tram positioning in an urban landscape. Being a vehicle, it is at the same time an important part of the architectural appearance of the city.
