E-mobility for local passenger transport

E-mobility for local passenger transport High transport capacity, comparable to tram 24 hours availability and life time of 20 years Flexible alignments and simple operation Excellent drive comfort thanks to adaptive suspension unit No exhaust fumes, extraordinarily silent No trackwork infrastructure required Suited for challenging topographies New transport lines possible within short time

Clean e-mobility for sensitive downtown areas The reduction of emissions as well as an efficient handling of energy resources are challenges urban areas have to face all over the world nowadays while the need for mobility is increasing at the same time. Urbanio is a 100% battery-driven system for local passenger transport that combines the obvious advantages of trams, buses and automated people movers (APMs). It offers flexible alignments and the low infrastructural requirements of buses as well as passenger capacities and the zero-emissions of trams. Thanks to the clever construction of the guideway, Urbanio is able to drive on elevated guideways, similar to automated guideway transit (AGT) systems. A combination of manual operation on the ground and a semi-automated operation on elevated guideways is also possible. The emission-free and silent drive system enables the possibility to drive in sensitive downtown areas.

Wide range of application thanks to a unique technical concept Based on the unique battery switch system it is possible to operate Urbanio 100% electrically, thus in an environmentally friendly way 24 hours a day. Moreover, the battery switch system offers numerous advantages such as a low empty weight of the vehicles as well as high reliability and availability. The regulated electro-hydraulic multiple axle steering mechanism guarantees directional stability of all the wheels and enables particularly narrow curve radiuses. Thanks to its bidirectional operation capability Urbanio is able to simply drive around obstacles and to turn in very little space.

An elevated operation with switches is possible by using an optional inductive or optical guiding system. The existing street infrastructure on the ground can be used thanks to pneumatic tyres and manual steering. Thus the installation of rails or overhead wires is not necessary.

Project: Mineta San Jose International Airport Terminal B, Architect: Fentress Architects Economic and environmentally friendly alternative for private project environments Urbanio is not only suitable for local public passenger transport, but can also be applied in private environments for the primary- and/or fine distribution in a network-, or single line feeder/connector configuration e.g. in airport-, exhibition-, university- as well as hotel- and business centre areas or theme parks. Due to the emission-free drive technology Urbanio can be also applied in closed buildings. By fulfilling the same requirements of fully automated transport systems such as automated people movers (APMs) or monorails, Urbanio represents an even more economical alternative than these systems.

Urbanio is a cooperative project of design & technik ag and zatran GmbH For more than 10 years design & technik ag has developed tailor-made solutions for well-known vehicle manufacturers and -suppliers in the field of public regional and long-distance transport.
