AP027.S1.D58
Description:
Design, development and manufacture of a new urban transit vehicle. This vehicle concept evolved from the Movement in Midtown Study. The first prototype was unveiled at an international transportation exhibition in Washington in 1972 and was also exhibited at the Rockefeller Center, New York. The second prototype was made under contract to the Town of Vail, Colorado. The design of the vehicle had significantly reduced weight and used energy efficient power system. It had a low floor and a wide door to facilitate access and egress of passengers and to make it compatible with an essentially pedestrian street.
