The Tesla 50 is the first of a range of ultra light rail vehicles aimed specifically at smaller towns and cities. The Tesla Public Inter-modal Mobility System (PIMS) at around 1M€ per kilometre as against 12 to 15M€ per kilometre for conventional systems makes the Tesla affordable but most importantly of all the Tesla 50 is the “state-of-the-art” for innovation, energy economy, operational flexibility and reliable passenger service. The Tesla 50 can be driver operated or fully automated.
