ORBIT™
TYPE: Rail & Road
DESCRIPTION
Orbit is a bi-directional vehicle utilising an LTO battery power unit with autonomous capability for enclosed and semi-enclosed environments.
This state-of-the-art, light urban transit vehicle was designed to operate in town/city centres, visitor attractions, airports, exhibition sites and park-and-ride applications and for “last mile” freight logistics operations.
Site tests for the vehicle were conducted in Stratford-upon-Avon, Bradford City Centre and Althorp Park.
The Orbit Minitram technology offers the system characteristics normally associated with conventional rail-based tram networks through the flexibility and cost effectiveness of automotive and commercial vehicle technology, combined with a concealed (below ground) wire guidance technology called ‘Safeguide’.

The pedestrianisation of our Towns and Cities along with the restricted access for cars has had a measured effect on the decline of the business centres. Orbit Minitram is designed to re-open these centres to both able and less able visitors as a low impact, and sustainable solution. The bi-directional, guided vehicle is the ideal conduit for all last mile passenger needs.
