Commissioned by Siemens trains, DesignworksUSA has designed the new Metro Inspiro for Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur and its fast growing region Klang Valley. Tradition and progress are at the heart of the people’s pride and self confidence in Kuala Lumpur that inspired the design concept for the new Metro Inspiro. Under the name “Guiding Light” the design takes a bow to the rich heritage of the region and makes a strong statement towards the future. Identity therefore was a key driver in the design development of the new Metro Inspiro: The cityscape of Kuala Lumpur is characterized by a mixture of cultures and religions.
