OTTOBAHN

Pod-on-demand

First milestone reached: the official handover of the jointly developed OTTOBAHN app

Public transport with the advantages of private transport - with a new transport system from OTTOBAHN based on suspended gondolas and wheel-rail technology.
The system is powered 100% by renewable energy and is based on individually planned journeys. The journey with OTTOBAHN is door-to-door, sustainable and autonomous.

Results

Emission-free

System is powered by 100% renewable energy

Individual

Gondolas are ordered individually via app - at the desired time, with individual start and destination

State funding

Supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Transport

Valtech Mobility as a strategic partner

Valtech Mobility acts as the central software partner and is responsible for the development of end customer apps, gondola infotainment and interior customization.

Autonomous, but individual

Each gondola autonomously controls how fast it travels (around 60 km/h in urban areas and up to 250 km/h over land) and which route it chooses. The distances between the cabins can also vary. With the help of an elevator system, the gondolas can lower themselves to the ground so that passengers can get on and off almost anywhere and stops are no longer required. The gondolas are equipped with special sensors that detect people and obstacles when the cabins are lowered. Up to four people or goods weighing up to one ton can be transported.
