Our new generation Citea won the European Product Design Awards (ePDA) After being honoured with the Red Dot Design Award and winning the Design Award at Busworld in 2023, our 100% electric city bus now also received the prestigious European Product Design Award. The European Product Design Award jury commended several aspects of our design, including the modern aerodynamic exterior inspired by urban landscapes. The use of single-piece composite sides not only reduces weight but also enhances efficiency, embodying VDL’s commitment to design with a focus on a sustainable world. The design philosophy focused on striking the perfect balance between our VDL brand and the Citea heritage, while infusing it with a timeless yet contemporary feel that will endure the total lifespan of this vehicle. In addition, the jury praised the interior design for its open and spacious ambiance, which draws inspiration from architectural principles rather than traditional automotive norms. We aimed to create a welcoming, homely environment through thoughtful lighting, layout and material choices. VDL’s design team members in collaboration with partner Modyn were presented with the award.
