INFRASTRUCTURE   

Infrastructure

• The unique engineering principles adopted in the design of Metrail rolling stock bring significant cost and environmental benefits.
The advanced electric drive train with its on-board power supply eliminates the need for the traditional live third rail or overhead power lines (catenary).
The benefits from reduced build time, disruption and cost are immediately apparent.

• Metrail’s lighter, self-powered carriages mean the guideway can be of a simpler design with no electrical infrastructure.
The Metrail system is inherently far safer for the operator and passengers as the traction system operates at low voltage, without the need for high voltage live rails.
Civil engineering costs are considerably reduced, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing guideway.
