Innovia APM

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

Innovia APM is a rubber-tired automated people mover system, now made and marketed by Alstom as part of its Innovia series of fully automated transport systems. The technology began with Westinghouse in 1963, grew out of the Skybus demonstration in Pittsburgh and was sold commercially from 1971 as the C-100, and it has passed through three generations: the Innovia APM 100 (first called the C-100 and CX-100), the Innovia APM 200 and the latest Innovia APM 300. Its licence passed from Westinghouse to AEG in 1988, to Adtranz in 1996, to Bombardier Transportation in 2001 and to Alstom in 2021. Most systems serve airports, though lines in Singapore, Bangkok and Miami also use it, and vehicles are assembled at West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, and by a joint venture with CRRC Nanjing Puzhen in Wuhu, China.
