INNOVIA monorail system – mass transit capabilities with iconic aesthetics
From dense inner-city routes to airport links, monorails transform urban areas. Fast and cost-effective to build, the driverless INNOVIA monorail 300 system offers comfortable mass-transit capacity with iconic aesthetics. Sleek vehicles run on slender guidebeams, seamlessly integrated into urban environments.
The INNOVIA monorail 300 system provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for growing cities. Quiet vehicles wind their way through existing infrastructure on elevated guideways. The guideway structure is built off-site to permit fast assembly with minimal disruption on-site. Thanks to its advanced features, such as CITYFLO mass transit rail control solution for driverless operation and regenerative breaking, the monorail system is extremely efficient to operate. Service is frequent, reliable and safe, meaning more passengers and more revenue for cities.

Uncompromised aesthetics and comfort
Constructed from extruded aluminum panels, the INNOVIA monorail 300 vehicle body shell is lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant and recyclable. Its low height gives the vehicle a dynamic, sleek look and ensures a smoother ride around curves.
Spacious interiors with flexible seating arrangements combine comfort with mass transit capability. All vehicles are accessible for passengers with disabilities while inter-car walk-through enables free passenger flow and enhances passenger safety.
