33. Phileas System vs Tram System
Advantages Phileas in Comparison to Tram-system
Flexible; not fixed to infrastructure
No rail and no overhead wires for the hybrid version
No special infrastructure needed; lightweight and rubber tyres
Gradients till 18% full load
Less energy-consumption; lightweight and hybrid
More comfortable and silent
Better manoeuvrability; all-wheel steering
Low investment and low maintenance costs
Advantages Tram in Comparison to Phileas-system
Known and more proven technology
Till 50 meter length (more capacity)
Lifetime 30 years against > 20 years of the Phileas
