Translohr tramways on tyres combine the performance of a guided system running on a central rail and the benefits of a vehicle with tyres: Improved braking performance due to the grip of the tyres, silent running, and a unique capacity to overcome grades up to 13%.
Translohr tramways on tyres are special in their ability to mesh with existing street layouts, with a narrow gauge and a very short turning radius, which are particularly suited to travel within a historic city centre with tight curves and a unique topography.
