Bombardier Transportation has won a Good Design Award for its Bombardier Innovia Monorail 300 system. This driverless transit system is designed on the principles of iconic aesthetics, mass transit capacity and fast-to-build infrastructure.
Bombardier is currently delivering two Innovia Monorail 300 systems. In Saudi Arabia, a 3.6 km system with six stations and six two-car monorail trains will be the primary mode of transport for the prestigious new King Abdullah Financial District. In Brazil, the addition of the new 24 km line, with 17 stations and 54 seven-car trains, will enhance the city of Sao Paulo and substantially reduce travel times for up to half-a-million people every day.
Pierre Attendu, president, systems division, Bombardier Transportation, said, "Bombardier's award winning Innovia Monorail 300 system combines excellence in product design with innovative technologies such as the Permanent Magnet Motor and the Bombardier Cityflo 650 train control system for driverless operation. Innovia Monorail 300 is a truly game-changing solution for city and airport authorities requiring an attractive, cost-effective and fast-to-build mass transit solution."
