Offering a new, bold look to the drab old railroad, subway, and metro rail, the futuristic Aurora Transportation concept pays homage to the older trains of the 20th century with its innovative colorway while retaining all the form and functionality of the trains we have grown accustomed to. The Aurora Transportation concept comes with a distinct motion graphic created with the help of nature-friendly Organic LEDS (OLEDS) that allows the concept to transform itself into a piece of art that presents a new dimension and a new perspective when it is in motion. From the powerful and sleek movements of the panther to the wavy, lucid and awe-inspiring waves of the aurora phenomenon, the transportation concept merges inspiration with state-of-the art technology seamless and effortlessly.

Utilizing the GenSet GP-38 propulsion platform, the state-of-the-art transportation concept offers valuable information to travelers such as train routes and maps via an innovative window display that use Organic LEDS to provide a unique motion graphic display on the exteriors of the transportation concept. While most current trains are made to disappear in the dark of the night, the Aurora stays illuminated and visible which allows the project to stimulate business and generate revenue by lending its exterior to advertisements.

To suit the needs of its passengers, the Aurora offers a wide variety of configurations with the help of its modular seating system that is composed of a table/bench and a seat. The two simple components allow the interior landscape of the Aurora to be customized to fit larger parties as well as single travelers on a daily basis. Group seating can also be created and reserved by families through online ordering. The interior of the Aurora is created to offer a dynamic environment with its versatile seating configuration.

Perfect for short inner-city commutes as well as longer distance inter-state and continental journeys, the Aurora comes complete with an 86-foot dining car that allows passenger to experience a unique system of ordering, pick-up, and lounging inside the transportation system itself.

Located at the opposite end of the locomotive, the Dining car serves as the main lounge area for the passengers who can browse through the variety of dining options on offer via touch screens located at the front of the car. Circulation through each area of the dining experience is encouraged via a dynamic floor plan which helps the transportation system to provide a luxuriant experience to passengers on-board.
