Student´s autonomous tram project shines in competitions!

He's already had one huge success, and now he's adding another. And both of them carry a significant Škoda footprint. We are talking about the Škoda ForFuture project by Martin Kuchta, a graduate of the Faculty of Multimedia Communications (FMK UTB) in Zlín and the author of the Škoda ForFuture autonomous tram project, which recently won the Top Design Winner award in the AUTOMOTIVE & TRANSPORT category in the prestigious European Product Design Award 2023 competition.

After winning the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in September, his project has thus scooped another huge award! At Škoda, we are proud to have been part of Martin’s journey to success and to provide our expertise to help create a vision of what the future of public transport could look like.

Success in two prestigious competitions is a tribute to Martin’s design for the autonomous Škoda ForFuture tram, which is tailored to the smart cities of tomorrow. With its innovative ability to connect vehicles while driving and increase the capacity to 420 passengers, Škoda ForFuture sets new benchmarks in the industry. The European Product Design Award 2023 annually recognises the world’s best design projects and achievements. Congratulations to Martin! His creativity and commitment are truly inspiring, and we are proud to have worked on this project!
