Hitachi
Newton Aycliffe, UK - Industrial
Connecting the future of travel.
Purpose built, manufacturing and assembly facilities for the European base for Hitachi Rail, producing trains in use across all regions of the UK and designed to cater for varying requirements within mainland Europe.
Inspiring spaces for innovative transport solutions.
Our bespoke solution resulted in a highly efficient building with adaptable facilities to deliver Hitachi Rail’s new generation of improved passenger trains. The design of the building is founded on optimisation of the manufacturing process and each element was assessed for its efficiency; the large span roof maximises natural light and generates one megawatt of electricity via photovoltaic cells.
Geoff Hunton
Director, Merchant Anglo Property Holdings.
Driven by collaboration.
We partnered with the Japanese train production team, who collocated into our office over a two year period, exploring options together to develop the optimum design.
A catalyst for sustainable journeys and careers.
Surpassing the original aim to create 700 Hitachi Rail jobs, the scheme saw over 1,200 people being directly employed, 8,000 supply chain jobs, and a further 600 opportunities for young apprentices in the north east.
