🚗 SkyWay facts: Unicar
At UST Inc., there has been designed a whole range of urban transport for different purposes and travel formats. Unicar is the most comfortable mode of transport for future passenger transport within the city today.
Unicar is a compact string transport vehicle equipped with seating (2 to 6 seats). Like most types of the string transport, Unicar is powered by a traction motor, which is either electrically powered by an overhead contact system or an on-board energy storage device. Unicar is designed so that its individual modules can be combined into a single unit via a rigid coupling.
At the time, three-section Unicar had the following characteristics:
- Dimensions, metres: 10 x 2.4 x 1.65;
- Mass, tons: 4.75 (curb weight), 6.1 (total with passengers and cargo);
- Passenger capacity, seating: 18 (3 modules of 6 seats each);
- Speed, km/h: 150 (maximum), 100 (under the EcoTechnoPark conditions);
- Energy consumption, litres/100 km/h at 100 km/h - 2.8 litres per 100 km.
The tropical Unicar, which is being tested today at the UST Inc. Centre in Sharjah. To ensure uninterrupted operation at 60 degrees, the engineers have doubled some of the tropical Unicar's systems, such as the climate units, cooling systems and battery packs.
In the future, Unicar could be the perfect replacement for personal transport with its capacity, comfort and driving safety.
