The tram in the photo is in Padua, the drivers have recently declared the blue snake which costed more than 42 Millions Euros for 14 carriages was a complete flop, it indeed has continuous breaking problems, continuous derailments, problems with the air conditioning and defrosting of the windows.
The complete article (italian) is here: i53 tinypic com / kasfua.jpg
The single rail concept might make a tramway an easier sell in places with alot of bike-nazi's. Only 2 rails for bikes to fall into versus 4. Also this tram appears to be running off the wire as well. Another selling point in localities that don't want overhead catenary wiring. This of course is all for non-US cities to consider, as nothing as innovative as this would ever seem to make it to the car-obsessed USA.
parabens pelo vídeo !!!!!! Fcou incrivel e bem filmado pois voce mostru tudo o que quaríamos ver sobre o traslohr .E uma pena que nunca teremos isso no Brasil !!!!
interesting vehicle but... tires, iron wheels, rails, asphalt, wires will be changed... where is the difference between translohr and a classic tram line? On a tram line you will change rails, wheels and wires only.... mmmh i've some doubts this will be the tram of the future! will see!!
the climbing ability with tyres is much better than steel wheels.and the rail you put on the street is much simpler and cheaper than tram rails because it does not carry the vehicle load, it is just a guide rail.
with a bit of more power it may almost be treated like a bus on steep paths.
@kekessalman bah i don't see it so innovative as Lohr wants to show! tires will consume, so iron wheels, rail, path... what when you will need to replace rail? you will need to destroy path too what if the latter was renewed short time before? it seems tires eat paths very fast... faster than a tram fer do with rails... the vehicle load is on tires and it seems to be a bit heavy. I don't think TransLohr can reach very high speed... And yet what about tram-train system new born in Europe?
@kekessalman A TL will never run on normal tracks... so? No expansions for TL in cities that could have tram-trains.... TL is a stand alone system. Not so innovative then...
Very interesting - but if you have to dig up the streets to put one rail in why not go the whole way and make it a proper light rail system? You could still run on batteries if you didn't want overhead in the historical parts of the city and being rail borne there would be less friction and you would need to expend less energy?

Gran bella macchina... forse non avrà una gran convenienza rispetto ad un tram tradizionale, ma gran bel bestione.

Yeah but why add 2 rails when one will do?

Translohr is an interesting vehicle, but not a tram I think.
Is it use batteries in wireless section?

An unhappy combination of a trolleybus and a tram, keeping the worst of those mean of transportation.
It's rather better the conventional tram on tracks, than this one.
