DESCRIPTION

Minitrams are state-of-the-art, light urban transit vehicles (sometimes known as Group Rapid Transit) designed to operate in town/city centres, visitor attractions, airports, exhibition sites and park-and-ride applications.

Site tests conducted in Stratford-upon-Avon, Bradford City Centre and Althorp Park.

The Minitram technology seeks to offer the system characteristics normally associated with conventional rail-based tram networks through the flexibility and cost effectiveness of automotive and commercial vehicle technology, combined with a concealed (below ground) wire guidance technology called ‘Safeguide’.

Bi-directional for narrow transit corridors

‘Safeguide’ Wire guidance with manual override

Modular lightweight construction

Public highway approved

The pedestalisation of our Towns and Cities along with the restricted access for cars has had a measured effect on the decline of the business centres. The Minitram is designed to re-open these centres to both able and less able visitors as a low impact, and sustainable solution. The bi-directional, guided Minitram is the ideal conduit for all last mile passenger and freight transport needs.
