MODULE 03 / PASSENGER CARRIERS

One frame.
Many faces.

The passenger carrier decides how a ride feels. Following the rickshaw principle, the running gear carries a separate passenger module on top - and that module, with its seat configuration, defines the experience: from a sporty seat through tilting and rotating configurations to a fully enclosed 360° cabin. This is the layer where the individual experience takes shape.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

How the passenger carrier works

 

01 / rickshaw

Running gear and carrier

Following the rickshaw principle, a running gear carries a separate passenger module on top. The running gear is matched to the carrier it supports.
02 / experience

The carrier defines the experience

Seat, cabin, or special carrier: what sits on the running gear defines the ride feel - from a contemplative panorama to a full flip.
03 / lifecycle

Replaceable over the lifecycle

Passenger carriers can be changed over the system's lifecycle - the track stays in place while the vehicle evolves with new seat configurations.
