Minitrams are state-of-the-art, light urban transit vehicles designed to operate in town/city centres, visitor attractions, airports, exhibition sites and park-and-ride applications. Because of their modular construction, a range of variants are possible in terms of length, width and interior seating arrangement according to capacity requirements. This includes (from left to right) the Minitram Classic (single vehicles which can also be bi-directional); the fully articulated Minitram Metro and multiple carriage configurations with a dedicated power car - the Minitram VTS range.

The Minitram System is also capable of being electronically guided. Called Safeguide, this patented technology automatically steers the vehicles but in all other respects, including braking and accelerating, the driver remains in control. Safeguide ensures precise navigation along narrow transit corridors - just like invisible rails - and precise docking at stops/platforms and stations.
