The vehicles run on either rails or an air cushion and have either a detachable grip (to the cable) or a fixed grip. [[Leitner Ropeways|Leitner]] has a [[Proving ground|test track]] for the vehicles in [[Vipiteno]], Italy. The current maximum capacity of the system is around 8,000 passengers per hour. The latest system installed with the MiniMetro brand was the [[MIA e Train|Miami International Airport eTrain]] in 2016.
