ALISA
Europe's Night Train of the Future
The ALISA research project is rethinking the European night train. At its core is a modular and lightweight bi-level sleeper train concept that combines a high level of passenger comfort with economically viable and flexible operation.
A standardized interior concept allows the configuration and equipment of the carriages to be adapted to different operational scenarios without modifying the underlying vehicle structure. Three permanently coupled carriages form a self-contained train unit that can be flexibly combined with additional passenger carriages.
Optimized lightweight construction and full accessibility of both levels create a high passenger capacity. At the same time, the vehicle concept is designed not only for night-time, but also for daytime operation.
ALISA combines modularity, lightweight construction and interior comfort into a holistic concept for the future of European night travel.

PROJECT PARTNERS
Developed together. Designed holistically.
ALISA brings together research, engineering, design and interior development.
Five partners combine their respective expertise to rethink the night train as a holistic concept, from vehicle structure and technical requirements to interior design, materials, approval and implementation.
