BATTERY POWERED ELECTRIC MONORAIL CAR AND TRACK SYSTEM

摘要

A monorail car has a body for accommodating passengers with a hollow extending along its underside and two wheels one at each end of the car at the upper end of the hollow for engaging a monorail guide member from above. The car can be self-propelled by an electric motor, which drives one of the wheels, and batteries for the motor. The motor and batteries, which constitute a major proportion of the tare weight of the car, and mounted on either side of the wheels in portions of the body extending below the wheels so that the centre of gravity is low and the car has good stability.
