Manifest for the
Future of Mobility
Transportation Design as a Tool for Humanity and Progress
1. Making Sustainability Visible
Future mobility must be ecological and experiential. Materials, energy sources, and recycling systems must be designed to make sustainability tangible, measurable, and credible. Every design decision carries ecological responsibility.
2. Creating Seamless Connectivity
Airplane, train, and car should merge into a continuous, intuitive mobility experience. Transportation Design defines user guidance across the entire journey as a core strategic task.
3. Transforming Vehicles into Living Spaces
Vehicles are evolving into flexible spaces for work, rest, or social interaction. Modular concepts transform interiors into multifunctional, human-centered environments.
4. Redefining Safety
Interfaces and feedback systems must build trust in autonomous mobility. Orientation, control, and safety must be designed to be both visible and perceptible at every touchpoint.
5. Aligning Global Standards with Local Identity
Transportation Design must operate globally while respecting local cultural values. Scalable platforms with regional adaptability ensure both efficiency and authenticity.
6. Enabling Inclusive Mobility
Mobility must be universally accessible across generations and abilities. Universal accessibility should be embedded at the earliest stages of design.
7. Prioritizing Emotion over Function
Technology must be translated into sensory experiences. Surfaces, light, sound, and spatial design create emotional resonance that elevates mobility beyond functionality.
8. Designing Flexible Architectures
Interiors must be modular, adaptive, and dynamically adjustable—whether for work, leisure, or rest. Adaptive concepts are the foundation for future-proof mobility ecosystems.
9. Bridging Digital and Physical Worlds
Augmented reality, multisensory interfaces, and hybrid experiences extend vehicle interiors. Designing seamless connections between digital and physical worlds will be a defining challenge of the next decade.
10. Engineering Resilience
Future mobility systems must be robust, adaptive, and crisis-proof—capable of withstanding pandemics, climate shocks, and energy crises. Transportation Design must deliver strategies that merge resilience with long-term flexibility.
