The Rail Interiors Awards are designed to recognise and reward design, collaborations and engineering excellence in the international rail-cabin sector.

The Awards have been jointly created by RedCabin and the organisers of The Rail Interiors Show, the international exhibition dedicated to rail-cabin design and technology (2025 show dates and venue to be announced soon). Through its Railway Interior Innovation Summits, which explore current and future rail-cabin trends and tackle challenges seen in the industry, RedCabin has successfully created a collaborative space for professionals to network and exchange ideas. The Railway Interior Innovation Summit is set to place November 5th-7th 2024, in Dusseldorf. 

Judged by a global jury of respected transportation journalists as well as well-known industry experts, the Awards’ judging will take place at The Rail Interiors Show. The prestigious Awards presentation will then take place at RedCabin Railway Interior Innovation Summit on November 6th 2024.

There are six Awards’ categories and there is no cost to enter. The Awards are independent and judges do not receive fees for their contribution. The six categories are:

Design Innovation of the Year
Project Collaboration of the Year
Technological Innovation of the Year
Concept of the Year
New Cabin of the Year
Rail Cabin of the Year

The shortlist is compiled by the organisers and the jury. The judging criteria will see winning manufacturers, operators, and suppliers triumph by creating or contributing to  rail cabins that enhance the passenger and/or driver environment.

If you would like your technology, design, concept or rolling stock innovation to be considered for an award, submissions will be open two months prior to The Rail Interiors Show.
