NTL is a provider of innovative solutions for public transport. The company designs and manufactures a range of Translohr tramways that run on rubber tyres. NTL’s new generation of electrically-powered transport systems address the eco-mobility objectives of municipalities around the world: clean transportation, capacity, easy-access, near-silent operation, as well as easy insertion into the existing urban road systems. NTL’s know-how has contributed to the development of other innovative transport systems, such as Aptis, a 100% mobility experience which was developped with Alstom. Aptis won the Innovation Label at Busworld Awards in October 2017. More information about Aptis on www.alstom.com

Translohr tramways on tyres easily fit into cities due to their limited footprint (5.18m dual tangent track), short turning radius (10.5 m) and ability to overcome grades up to 13%.
A fully guided system on tyres with a single central rail, the Translohr stands apart for its silent running, for the comfort of passengers and neighbours alike. The integral low floor (25 cm from the ground) and smaller gap in the station make it easier for people with disabilities to get on board.
The trams’ narrow gauge and their low axle load (9 tonnes/axle) make it possible to substantially reduce the necessary infrastructure work, owing particularly to a limited platform height (24 to 30 cm) and optimized depot surface area (up to 50% compared to a conventional tramway).
