Minitram Systems Ltd

Developed by Transport Design International (TDI), Minitram Systems seek to offer the system characteristics normally associated with light rail through the flexibility and cost effectiveness of automotive technology. Minitram Systems are significantly cheaper than a conventional tram or light rapid system and do not require intrusive infrastructure such as overhead wires or electrified rails. The vehicles are small scale and can travel along roadways with shared occupancy, dedicated alignments, through pedestrian areas and even indoors within shopping centres or other building complexes. Minitrams can be offered in two modes: either for running on shallow-laid tram track, or on rubber tyres using Safeguide concealed wire guidance technology.
