BELWAY's high-performance mass transit system is based on a fleet of autonomous shuttles operating on dedicated lanes. In 2024, BELWAY reached decisive milestones, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable mass transit solution. Thanks to significant technological advances, BELWAY is positioned as an efficient, environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional transport systems.

The capacity of a VAL-type metro

BELWAY has proven its ability to transport 12,000 passengers per hour with shuttles of just 8 seats, thus achieving the capacity of a VAL-type metro. This remarkable performance is made possible by optimized routes and the use of autonomous vehicles on dedicated lanes.

Tests validated by UTAC

During tests at UTAC, production vehicles demonstrated their ability to travel in autonomous mode at speeds of up to 130 km/h.
