Seamless integration and outstanding passenger experience

Requiring a light and low-profile infrastructure, suitable for congested environments, APM systems are fast to construct. Rubber-tyred for low noise and vibration, systems can operate on sharp curves (radius min 22m) and steep grades (up to 6%). Open visuals and free passenger flow contribute to the outstanding passage experience.

Outstanding system reliability

Capitalising on over 50 years’ experience worldwide, Alstom APM systems offer 99.8% system availability and reduce operating expenses by over 20%.
