Press Release - World Market Study on Monorail System
With a market volume of more than 2 billion Euro p.a., the monorail market segment is a comparatively small, but dynamically growing segment in the transportation business. This is the outcome of a market study which has been worked out by SCI Verkehr for the International Monorail Association.
First Edition of IMA's Performance Specification for a Turnkey Mass Transit Monorail System released
Worldwide, around 80 percent of monorails fulfil a transport task in public transit, and thanks to their economic advantages and shorter implementation times, the trend is rising. Monorails are not only convincing on greenfield sites; they offer decisive advantages especially in developed or rapidly growing urban areas as the systems can be implemented most easy in highly dense and busy environment. The elevated construction reduces the space requirement to a minimum and does not lead to a displacement of existing surface traffic.

HIGHLIGHTS OF MONORAILEX 2021
We look back on an exciting and successful Monorailex Conference 2021. During the planning period it wasn’t clear if we would be able to host the Conference in-person, but we were lucky that Italy lifted some of its restrictions early, and with great support from Marino Torre (Hitachi) and Agostino Marioni (Hirun) we could host the Conference in-person in Milan.
Due to still ongoing COVID19 restrictions, some members and interested parties from Egypt, Brazil, India, China, and other countries around the globe couldn’t attend in-person, but the conference was set up as a hybrid event which made it possible to attend over Zoom; and with this to contribute to a successful event with valuable presentations and lively discussions.
DIGITAL MONORAIL WORKSHOP AND PRESENTATIONS 2020
We strive to keep our members safe and healthy while continuing to support the monorail industry during these tough times. This year Monorailex was held via Virtual Meeting to ensure the safety of our members and colleagues. The Virtual Meeting was organized in a series of activities that began on 19 September to 22 September, in 3 to 4-hour sessions each day.
The purpose and goal of the Virtual Workshop 2020 was to work on the further development of the association as well as the strategic direction for its future.
During last year’s assembly meeting (MONORAILEX 2019) that was held in Chiba, Japan, the IMA implemented two working groups whose focus was to further the development of the association.
