This MoU comes with RTA efforts to achieve Dubai vision to have 25% of all trips to be self-driving by 2030. MND and RTA commits to work together to study and implement CABLINE system to contribute to this vision. The CABLINE system developed by the ropeways specialist MND, with support of the French State Agency for sustainable development ADEME, is perfectly fitting these objectives and aims at offering a completely new experience for aerial transportation.

Designed to integrate and connect to a city’s existing inter-modal transport network, CABLINE is fully automatic system, with self-propelled cabins moving over ropes at speeds up to 45 km per hour. This technology uses a minimalist infrastructure easy and fast to integrate while offering the same benefits of obstacle clearance, small footprint and energy optimization as traditional ropeway transportation.

Adapted to urban stakes, CABLINE allows easier maintenance to guarantee high availability and fiability rate of the urban transport system and optimal service for the passengers. This disruptive technology embarks patented solutions and rely on the strong and proven references of MND and its partners in the field of conventional ropeways.

Abdul Mohsen Ibrahim Younes, CEO of Rail Agency, signed the MoU on behalf of RTA, and Xavier Gallot-Lavallée, Chairman and CEO of MND, signed on behalf of the French Group MND.

Rail Agency is the agency responsible for providing and operating all modes of rail transport on behalf of RTA.
“The signing of this MoU is part of RTA’s ongoing efforts to increase public transportation trips to 26% by 2030. Realizing this objective requires developing advanced innovative transport systems and improving the sustainable transport network in Dubai to encourage people and visitors to use public transport.
