Rail
When it comes to rail vehicle design & engineering, there are many that
say they can – but not many that can deliver. In this sector, our team
have a long ‘track’ record in delivering solutions, concentrating mostly on
the interior of the vehicles.
Nobody Does It Better
You will not find greater independent expertise than exists among the
Deeo team of rail engineers. We provide 'windscreen to windscreen'
experience in designing rail vehicle interiors. Our services include special
focus on the most challenging environments. We also complete
structural analysis for all our designs & are one of the first to have
completed a train seat design that meets the criteria for GM/RT 2100
iss5.
Not the OLD way
We question “that’s how we have always done it” statements in all
sectors we support, but especially in the rail sector. We bring fresh
solutions, from other industry sectors in harmony with our years of rail
vehicle design experience to create new solutions for you. From Hybrid
physical & virtual mock-up’s, digital configurators that show a new
interior design in multiple configuration’s & changeable at the touch of a
button to light weight material solutions & advanced lighting technology.
We want to break the mould & do something fit for the future, not the
same as the past! Designed for manufacture.
What We Do
These are the complex areas of a rail vehicle Deeo specialise in the
design & engineering for both new & refurbished vehicles.

Catering Areas
On-board catering & shop facilities are one of the most complex design
challenges in a rail vehicle, but as more & more people travel further
distances on trains, the need for advanced catering facilities has grown. Over
the past fifteen years, Deeo’s team members have designed the majority of
catering facilities fitted to UK rail vehicles both in new & re-furbished trains.
In the age of product branding & customer choice, the general public have
become more discerning in what they eat & drink. To facilitate their needs,
the train operators wish to supply more than just warm sandwiches & stewed
tea. Our designs for catering facilities have incorporated all of the latest
technology food preparation equipment available, appropriate for producing
food in a moving vehicle.
From a simple shop area to a fully equipped galley, we have the know-how
to complete your design. We understand all food preparation/hygiene
regulations & important working practices adopted by operatives within the
catering industry.
Along with our full ergonomic appreciation to design, this gives our
customers & the end user peace of mind that the design will not only follow
the initial brief for the sale of food & drinks but also meet all regulations &
ergonomic parameters required.
We know how to deliver an on-board catering solution; we have done it
many times. We also know why others who have tried – fail. What’s the harm
in a chat – let us explain how we can take the heartburn away from this
process.

Drivers Cabs
For the last 20 years, key members of Deeo’s team have been at the
forefront of design innovation of one of the most important interfaces
in a rail vehicle - the driver cab.
The sculpting of a drivers control desk & its surrounding environment
requires a great deal of understanding in a variety of areas:
o Drivers day to day work-flow
o Ergonomic requirements to ensure a safe working area
o Mandatory sightline requirements to track styling / user interface /
customer wishes
o Material selection & manufacturing process required to create a
cost effective, maintainable end production product
We understand all of the above criteria & have successfully designed
& advise in the development of over 15 different drivers cab areas for
a variety of different vehicle types. As this is where all systems
converge to control the train it is critical this environment is done with
the right team.
The key to our success in the design of each cab environment, is our
interest in what the end-user needs. Taking every effort to
understand the user's perspective of driving the vehicle & to adopt,
where possible, enhancements to make their day-to-day driving
experience more pleasurable. Our ergonomic assessments utilising
our virtual mannequin’s also helps define the best solution way before
manufacture of any prototype.

Interior Trim
As the interior of a train is the area most scrutinised by the passenger,
it is key that the design is right. We have, for many years, completed
interior design solutions for rail car & interior trim manufacturers for
vehicles in service for the UK & Europe.
Part of the team
Working either alongside our customer’s interior stylist or developing
the concept internally, we have engineered inspirational & ‘Fit for
Purpose’ solutions for many projects. From a specific area of the
vehicle interior to a full interior design, members of our team have
designed & engineered solutions for:
o Body side Trim
o Ceiling/Lighting Rafts
o Flooring Solutions
o Grab Poles/Rails
o Heating Systems
o Luggage Stacks/Racks
o Refuse Receptacles
o Tables
o Seat Design
o Seating Configurations
o Vestibule Areas
From concept to commissioning, Deeo’s team have been part of the
design & project management of many prestigious projects. In the
design or integration of any interior trim, we fully understand the
mandatory regulations each design has to meet.

Toilet Modules
Some of our senior designers have been on the toilet for years!
We have many year’s experience in the design & integration of Toilet
Modules into rail vehicles, both in the UK & globally. Many companies
manufacture vacuum toilet systems to process the waste & there are
some companies that actually manufacture so called “turn-key” toilet
modules. However, due to the gauge ranges of the rail vehicles & the
frequency of new build train orders globally, a lot of “off the shelf”
modules have to be re-designed specifically for the vehicle it is to go
in.
Our team have designed toilet module solutions, integrating the best
toilet systems into ergonomically designed “Plug & Play” modules
sighting the water tanks & effluent tanks to the vehicle & accessing
displacement issues.
Across the World
Our CEO has been part of a “Global Think Tank” to create a bio digest
solution for third world countries transportation systems to reduce
disease & save lives. Where mass populations travel by train, but the
infrastructure & availability of water is an issue – we strive to develop
a cost effective solution to answer this problem.
For any assistance in toilet solutions you may have, we would be glad
to let you know how we can bring value to your problem.
