Driving transport forward with cutting-edge design

Transport future strategy

We design transport solutions that move people and goods smarter — efficiently, sustainably, and always with the user in mind.

From agile urban mobility to robust commercial transport, our multidisciplinary team blends research, strategy, and design to shape vehicles and systems that excel in both function and form.

With deep insight into electrification, smart mobility, and emerging technologies, we help brands create future-ready solutions — from e-bikes and micro-mobility to long-haul vehicles. Every project is a balance of usability, sustainability, and bold brand expression.

Let’s shape the future of mobility — together.

To our insights

In a world of rapid urbanization, shifting infrastructure, and evolving user expectations, the transport sector is facing a pivotal moment. At MODYN, we see this not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to reshape how people experience movement on a larger scale. From public transit and long-distance travel to last-mile solutions, we bring a human-centered approach to design that balances performance, comfort, and sustainability.

As new technologies emerge and demands on infrastructure grow, there’s a critical need for design that connects systems, services, and people seamlessly. That’s where we thrive.

Drawing on decades of experience in mobility and product design, we collaborate with forward-thinking partners to redefine the future of transport—delivering smarter, more connected, and emotionally resonant travel experiences.

MODYN Design Process

A proven process to improve experiences and outcomes for all stakeholders

Directioning
We begin by finding the right balance. By analyzing the landscape through the lenses of Market, User, Technology, and Planet, we identify opportunities and chart a course toward meaningful, future-ready transport solutions.

Digging
We immerse ourselves in real-world mobility behaviors, passenger flows, operational demands, and infrastructure constraints to uncover what truly matters—emotionally, functionally, and systemically.

Defining
We turn insights into focused, actionable design directions that align with rider needs, operator goals, and long-term mobility strategies.

Developing
From seating layouts to UI flows, we rapidly prototype and iterate solutions that are intuitive, inclusive, and designed for seamless integration into daily transport ecosystems.

Delivering
From refined CAD to CMF and production handover, we ensure every detail stands up to real-world use, system requirements, and the evolving expectations of modern mobility.

Our proven process

VDL New Generation Citea

When VDL introduced a new generation of powerful batteries and a cutting-edge electric drive system, they knew it called for more than an update — it needed a completely new vision. As longstanding design partners behind the VDL brand identity and multiple vehicle platforms, MODYN was brought in to shape the next generation of Citea buses — starting from the ground up, with a focus on futureproof design and electric performance.

Picnic ePV facelift

Picnic is a pioneer in online grocery delivery across the Netherlands, Germany, and France, operating entirely through its digital platform. The company’s fleet of electric delivery vehicles — the ePVs — serve as its most visible physical brand touchpoint on the street.

To support Picnic’s mission of delivering groceries with a smile, we partnered closely with their team to translate the brand’s friendly, approachable identity into a distinctive visual language for their ePVs. The result is a vehicle design that not only stands out, but brings the brand’s values to life in every neighborhood it serves.

Agrifac Condor Endurance

Agrifac, a market leader in farming machinery, had made major strides in advancing the technology behind their sustainable sprayers. But while the innovation under the hood was impressive, the design no longer reflected the company’s progress or modern customer expectations.

That’s where MODYN came in. Agrifac challenged us to elevate and streamline the design to align with their cutting-edge technology — and to bring our automotive production expertise to the table, helping them select the right materials and manufacturing techniques for a future-ready product.

Transforming a city, devided by a river.

Thinking outside the box, MODYN took up the challenge to help envision a new kind of passenger ferry — one that rethinks waterborne mobility through the lens of sustainability, accessibility, and smart design. As longtime collaborators, we joined forces to explore how the brand’s electric-first philosophy could extend beyond land to sea.

Together, we developed a conceptual ferry design that blends Arrival’s modular approach with a human-centered travel experience — delivering not just a vision for the future of maritime transport, but a blueprint for innovation on the water.
