State-of-the-art technology and design standards at Interalpin

At this year's Interalpin, cable car manufacturer Leitner will once again showcase its position as one of the innovation leaders in technology and design. Years of intensive investment in research and development will result in a range of groundbreaking products for the future of sustainable mobility in 2025. This will be evident at Interalpin, where the company will present a new standard for monorail cable cars, among other things. In addition to this launch event, visitors to the completely redesigned exhibition stand in Innsbruck can look forward to lots more news from Leitner.

Launch event for single-cable gondola lift

“We are delighted to be able to present the results of our intensive innovation and development work over the past 18 months to our customers, industry experts, and all interested parties at Interalpin 2025. We are introducing an optimized single-cable gondola lift that will set new standards in noise reduction, maintenance, occupational safety, and efficiency for the entire ropeway industry.” With these words, Martin Leitner, CEO of Leitner AG, underscores the company's high standards and its commitment to further consolidating its role as a leading manufacturer of ropeway systems. The launch event will take place on Wednesday, May 7, at 2 p.m. at the Leitner booth D06 in Hall D.

Focus on urban ropeways

Another focus at this year's Interalpin will be urban ropeway solutions in the context of global mobility challenges. As part of the Inspiration Days organized by Messe Innsbruck, Leitner, as a partner of this format, will showcase its expertise in the field of urban ropeways using the example of the ropeway project in Trieste and present its capabilities in the realization of further urban installations around the globe.

ConnX for urban ropeway systems

In keeping with this theme, Leitner will also be presenting its hybrid solution ConnX for the first time at Interalpin. The system, developed and patented by Leitner, is based on a detachable gondola lift in which the gondola is transferred to a ground-based vehicle in the station, which then continues on its own track on wheels. This allows the gondola lift to overcome any topographical or structural obstacles, while the ConnX “dual solution” is also an attractive option for urban areas where a continuous cable car system cannot be implemented for a variety of reasons. At Interalpin, visitors will be able to experience and walk through the latest generation of the vehicle with a premium Diamond EVO cabin featuring urban amenities for the first time.

LeitPilot

At Interalpin, Leitner will also present its pioneering LeitPilot technology, which enables autonomous cable car operation for gondola lifts. The system, which can be integrated into new and existing installations, is based on real-time monitoring in the entry and exit areas of the stations, thus creating an essential prerequisite for autonomous station operation. This is made possible by the use of state-of-the-art safety technology, such as advanced LIDAR sensors for monitoring the vehicle pit, which serve as a smart basis for unmanned operation.
