Val: The latest generation of fully Automated People Mover
The smartest transportation investment for cities and airports
Modern cities need feeder lines and medium-capacity metro infrastructure which are high performing, energy efficient, and able to adapt nimbly to changing capacities. Meanwhile, the number of airports is increasing world-wide at the same time as they are growing in size. Airports require efficient and reliable interconnection between terminals, and towards intermodal transport systems. Both are constantly seeking clever ways to maximize their investment in transportation solutions. The new generation Val is a fully Automated People Mover (APM) solution on rubber tires, offering the lowest total cost of ownership for cities and airports. The Val is setting new standards in efficiency and availability, and is designed for streamlined associated civil works. Siemens Val systems benefit from the latest automation and monitoring technology for an optimized everyday operation, and the fastest response to the unexpected.
Lowest total cost of ownership for cities and airports
The latest generation Val has been designed to offer its owners the greatest value for investment. This is assured through streamlining the related infrastructure (such as tracks, platforms and tunnels) and the modern design of the vehicle, thereby reducing the cost of ownership over the entire life cycle of the Val system.Your advantages with the latest generation Val
The Val is as flexible as ever, completely adaptable to both city and airport environments alike. The system is highly scalable to respond to the unique and ever-changing conditions of these complex settings.
