Public transport: IEME Brazil’s experience with VLT

VLT (Light Rail Vehicle) is a public transport system that uses light vehicles powered by electricity and operating on rails. These vehicles usually circulate in urban areas, often on roads shared with cars and buses or in exclusive corridors.

It is an intermediate option between the subway and the bus, combining the capacity to transport a considerable number of passengers with the flexibility to operate in more restricted urban spaces. Known for being silent, energy efficient and less polluting, it has been adopted by numerous cities around the world.

In its area of ​​operation, which involves metro-rail projects, IEME has extensive experience with VLT projects, having worked in this segment with: Consórcio Expresso VLT Baixada Santista (Santos/SP and São Vicente/SP), Queiróz Galvão (Santos/SP), Álya Construtora (Santos/SP), Consbem (Cuiabá/MT), CR Almeida (Cuiabá/MT), Odebrechet (Goiânia/GO), Aubicon (Extrema/MG), Vib-tech (Arujá/SP) and Concessionária do VLT Carioca (Rio de Janeiro/RJ).
