The development of urban mobility is becoming an increasingly complex global challenge.

Growing individual traffic, limited space, and the demand for eco-friendly transportation amidst the climate and energy crisis are driving the need for innovative solutions.

In many major cities, ropeways are emerging as a leading option for expanding public transport services sustainably. Modern ropeway technologies from the HTI Group, which operates globally through it's companies LEITNER, POMA, and BARTHOLET, offer numerous benefits. These include low investment and operating costs, exceptional reliability, easy accessibility, and the ability to adapt to various topographical and urban conditions.

Advantages of Urban Cable Cars

Cities like Mexico City, Medellín, Santo Domingo, and many others are already showcasing the effectiveness of integrating ropeways into their public transport systems. Ropeways are a prime example of electromobility, meeting key requirements for eco-friendly transportation. Powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels, they produce zero direct CO2 emissions, making them an excellent climate-conscious choice.

Additionally, ropeways require minimal space, can effortlessly cross obstacles, and significantly reduce travel time for passengers. A single motor operates multiple vehicles simultaneously, making them highly efficient. Ropeways also provide a valuable solution for connecting urban recreational areas, with minimal environmental impact and minimal ground disruption.

Transport Without Delay

Urban road networks often face capacity bottlenecks, leading to frequent traffic jams and accidents. However, ropeways remain unaffected by such issues, offering passengers a reliable, delay-free mode of transport. The dedicated aerial route ensures consistent travel times without waiting or timetables, unaffected by road traffic. Additionally, ropeways feature level walk-in access, allowing barrier-free boarding and disembarking in every cabin.

Thanks to low entry speeds and stop-and-go technology, strollers, wheelchairs, and bicycles can be accommodated without difficulty. Moreover, ropeways are the safest form of urban transportation. From a cost perspective, many local authorities find ropeways especially attractive. They are significantly more affordable than alternatives, with construction costs approximately half that of a streetcar and just a tenth of a metro system. With their modular design, ropeways from the HTI Group can be quickly deployed once the order is placed.

Ropeways Can Overcome Any Obstacle

Ropeways excel in navigating steep gradients and diverse terrains, offering a major advantage over other forms of transport. Whether traversing densely built areas, varying elevations, or crossing bodies of water, ropeways can be customized to fit specific urban needs and follow the most direct routes. With minimal space required for towers and stations, ropeways integrate seamlessly into the cityscape, maintaining a low environmental footprint while ensuring efficient and accessible transportation.
