Advanced Transport Systems Ltd’s Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) takes you to the next level of green commuting. Being battery-powered, the pod-like vehicle ensures a zero emission ride. Just type in the destination on a fully automated touchscreen and press the start button. The futuristic, four-passenger, driver-less vehicle will guide you to the parking lots through the narrow lanes of Heathrow’s Terminal 5 at 25 mph.
The eco-friendly mode of transport, developed by Martin Lowson, dedicated itself to the public at the Science Museum in London. Do you remember the Apollo missions? Lowson was involved in Saturn Rocket research, and now he has put 14 years of R&D in the present PRT project.
We believe that our PRT system can transform cities in the 21st century to provide the optimum form of environmentally friendly urban transport, relieving congestion and reducing emissions.
Accordingly, 18 vehicles are presently running from the Terminal 5 Business Car Park to the terminal sans a speck of emission.
