Mobility hubs as a lever for the modal shift and urban quality
Those wishing to get around quickly are increasingly choosing a smart mix of modes of transport: the train for longer distances and a bicycle-sharing system for the last mile. Whatever combination is chosen, speed and convenience are paramount. At the same time, the environment benefits when this mix contributes to road safety, green spaces and improved air quality. Mobility hubs unite all these ambitions.
The hub that connects everything
Increasing urbanisation requires infrastructure that makes mobility smarter, safer and more sustainable. Sweco designs mobility hubs that meet operational needs while contributing to a liveable city. From depots to maintenance centres, we combine technical expertise with an integrated approach in which design, execution, and management are seamlessly integrated. Our architects and engineers create functional buildings that fit logically into their surroundings, with attention to ease of use, safety, and future-proofing. Thoughtful project management ensures we keep the entire process under control—from the initial sketch to commissioning.
Technology and safety are integrated into every design
We integrate special techniques for trams and metros, and design high-performance MEPF (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire safety) systems. Fire compartmentation, evacuation plans and crisis procedures are integrated in the design from the outset. Our team regularly tests these through drills and simulations to ensure your infrastructure is always prepared for emergencies. Operational scenarios for everyday functioning and crisis situations are also part of our approach, ensuring that your hub continues to function reliably under all conditions.
Localisation that works for the city, users and surroundings
We analyse mobility flows, policy objectives and spatial context to strategically position hubs with consideration for accessibility, multimodal connections and future-proofing. We provide urban planning and landscaping that is not only functional but also enhances the quality of public space. This includes space for pedestrians and cyclists, smart interchange points, and designs that actively support the modal shift. We always look for spatial gains for the surrounding area, so that the hub also adds value for the neighbourhood and its users.
Digital precision for maximum control
We optimise design, execution and management with BIM and digital twins. These digital models enhance efficiency, improve collaboration across disciplines and ensure transparency throughout the building process. Even after delivery, they remain valuable for maintenance and the optimisation of your infrastructure.
We build according to EPB and BREEAM standards and analyse soil and environmental factors from the outset. This reduces your carbon footprint and your operational costs. We also provide charging infrastructure for electric vehicles as part of the energy transition. We also optimise the acoustics of buildings for user comfort and limit noise pollution for the neighbourhood.
Building your mobility vision together
With years of experience and a multidisciplinary team, we are your partner for high-performance mobility hubs. We listen to your needs and translate them into concrete elements that fit together harmoniously—technically, spatially, and organisationally.
