RTA Dubai and MND to explore developing new innovative urban ropeway

Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Dubai announced in a statement that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with French mobility specialist MND, a leading company in the ropeways industry for developing an aerial transport network in Dubai.

MND and RTA commits to work together to study and implement CABLINE system to contribute to Dubai’s vision 2030.

The CABLINE system developed by the ropeways specialist MND, with support of the French State Agency for sustainable development ADEME, is perfectly fitting these objectives and aims at offering a completely new experience for aerial transportation.

CABLINE is designed to integrate and connect to a city’s existing inter-modal transport network.

This fully automatic, driverless transport system, with self-propelled cabins moving over ropes at speeds up to 45 km per hour, uses a minimalist infrastructure easy to integrate with the least possible footprint. Its innovative technology is much more modern, more aesthetic, quieter and more energy sufficient than traditional ropeway transportation. CABLINE allow easier maintenance to guarantee high availability rate of the urban transport system and optimal service for the passengers. This disruptive technology embarks patented innovations and rely on the strong and proven references of MND and its partners in the field of conventional ropeways, statement said.
