transportdesign
Transport design, also known as transportation design, is a field of industrial design focused on the concept, styling, and user experience of vehicles and related systems across land, air, sea, and space. It covers exterior aesthetics, interior architecture, and the interactions between people and machines. The discipline considers aerodynamics, ergonomics, visibility, safety, packaging, manufacturability, and lifecycle sustainability. Projects span passenger cars and commercial vehicles, aircraft, trains, ships, and emerging mobility concepts such as electric micro-mobility devices and autonomous shuttles, aiming for form that aligns with brand, function, and production realities.
Design work proceeds through collaboration with engineering and marketing teams. Typical stages include brief definition, user
Historically, transport design grew from automotive coachwork and industrial design, expanding with advances in aerodynamics, materials,
Current trends emphasize electrification, lightweight materials, autonomous systems, shared mobility, and sustainable lifecycle design. Designers face
