Aerial transport reminiscent of a cable car

Passengers will be able to enjoy an on-demand service, easily managed through a mobile app. The autonomous vehicles, designed to be inclusive, accommodate up to five people along with their luggage or bicycles.

This system stands out for its ability to overcome urban obstacles using cables and rails, adapting to different environments without interfering with activities on the surface. The technology allows installation on existing infrastructures, minimizing costs and environmental impact.

A project in action in New Zealand

According to the company’s plans, Remarkables Park in Queenstown will be the first location to implement this model. With a community that receives more than 3.5 million visitors annually, the system seeks to mitigate congestion and polluting emissions.

The company not only redefines transportation with zero emissions and low energy consumption, but also prioritizes connecting marginalized communities, improving access and inclusion.
