| The "TAZI" model from HORLACHER is the prototype for a new and particularly energy-efficient vehicle concept.
"TAZI" has been conceived for the public transport of persons and goods over large areas of open ground, and travels at walking pace only (8 - 12 km/h).
HORLACHER set itself the objective in this project of providing the largest possible amount of useful space in a small area.
The vehicle is characterized by its considerable transport capacity: up to 40 persons can be transported at the same time in the maximum number of cabins (seven).
A further outstanding characteristic of the concept is the manoeuvrability of this multiple-unit train and the absolute tracking stability of the individual trailers behind the towing cabin unit, which allows even narrow passages to be negotiated without problem.
The TAZI has a turning circle of 8 meters.
The following are possible areas of application:
| • |
|
fairs and exhibitions |
| • |
|
airports |
| • |
|
leisure parks and amusement parks |
| • |
|
hospitals and sanatoriums |
(U.S. + European Pat. pending)
The Tazi project is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.
