countryside travel by car. Sometimes even completely. Typical for so many sparsely populated rural areas in Germany: driver-based public transport is on the verge of collapse - hardly any connections, complicated fare structures. Everyone drives a car. Railway lines lie idle. Many people are moving away. Rural areas are running out of people.<\/p>\n<p>Projects like MONOCAB bring us into the great future of the countryside. Because it's not just about mobility: it's about our coexistence, about the provision of basic needs in the countryside and (perceived) equal living conditions, about fair mobility - ultimately about an operating system for a democratic society.<\/p>\n<p>This does not require a revolution of \u201eAway with the old, make way for the new!\u201c - but simply an evolutionary recombination of the existing with the new: with the credo \u201eUse what's there\u201c, MONOCAB is taking precisely this approach: it combines the existing rail infrastructure and what is still available in terms of public transport with an additional mobility option. The result is IPNV - individualised public transport.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_cf76a3cfbaadce0845a744ad982b3cee\" class=\"block block-box nuevo--block-box background-color-block_bg__c8ab73585911b27b04e0a7899a813464\" background=\"block_bg__c8ab73585911b27b04e0a7899a813464\"><div class=\"content-container\">\n\n                \n            <div class=\"gridWrapper layout-centered box-default\">\n                                            <div class=\"grid grid-sm-1-2 grid-lg-1-3\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content boxBg\">\n                        <div class=\"box-head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon\" alt=\"Innovation Catalysts\" src=\"https:\/\/monocab-system.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/icon_innovation.svg\" \/><h2 class=\"like-h4 box-headline\">Innovation Catalysts<\/h2><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"grid grid-sm-1-2 grid-lg-1-3\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content boxBg\">\n                        <div class=\"box-head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon\" alt=\"Opportunity Provider\" src=\"https:\/\/monocab-system.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/icon_chancen.svg\" \/><h2 class=\"like-h4 box-headline\">Opportunity Provider<\/h2><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"grid grid-sm-1-2 grid-lg-1-3\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content boxBg\">\n                        <div class=\"box-head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon\" alt=\"Mobility as Mindshift\" src=\"https:\/\/monocab-system.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/icon_mindshift.svg\" \/><h2 class=\"like-h4 box-headline\">Mobility as Mindshift<\/h2><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    \n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_74f72a7b2eaec231c730985c2ff30a32\" class=\"block block-text-and-image nuevo--block-text-and-image background-color-block_bg__58c7b2c4d2734ee38387ab027505ac6f noPadding\" background=\"block_bg__58c7b2c4d2734ee38387ab027505ac6f\" data-scroll-effect=\"slide-right\" data-scroll-delay=\"0.2s\">\n<div class=\"text-image_wrapper\" direction=\"text-image\" layout=\"viewport\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"content-container\">\n        <div class=\"gridWrapper animated-scrolling\">\n\n                <div class=\"grid grid-ms-1-2\">\n        <div class=\"grid-content gc-text\">\n                            <h2 class=\"like-h3\">MONOCAB wins the RegioStars Award 2025!<\/h2>\n                        <div class=\"text\">\n                <h4>Excellent at the European level<\/h4>\n<p>MONOCAB has been awarded the RegioStars Award by the European Commission.

Customised, automated - and \u201eon demand\u201c, instead of what feels like an eternal wait for the rare country bus.<\/p>\n<p>This bridging technology will become the flexible and individualised feeder to local public transport. Socially appropriate and urgently needed. Accepted and sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inspiration: <\/strong>Monorail by Louis Brennan, 1907<\/li>\n<li><strong>Idea: <\/strong>Thorsten F\u00f6rsterling, Landeseisenbahn Lippe e.V.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Awards: <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>German Mobility Award 2018 - Open Innovation<\/li>\n<li>RegioStars Award 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/article>\n                            <article class=\"grid grid-md-1-2\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content\">\n                        <h2>What only MONOCAB can do<\/h2>\n<p>There are many ideas for new mobility. But only MONOCAB is a project of national importance for the future of rural areas. Instead of just being a technical innovation, it has a clear social focus: more quality of life, more mobility justice.<\/p>\n<p>Only the MONOCAB project uses the existing infrastructure of disused single-track railway lines in rural areas so consistently with small, lightweight and autonomous rail vehicles - in two-way traffic, on demand: like your own car on rails.<\/p>\n<p>And only the MONOCAB combines the existing public transport services and the private vehicle culture in the countryside in the shortest possible time. The result is a bigger, better system: we are making local public transport more flexible and individualised. We call this principle <strong>IPNV<\/strong> (<strong>I<\/strong>ndividual <strong>P<\/strong>persons<strong>n<\/strong>ah<strong>v<\/strong>transport).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Project of national importance<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Use what is there!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reactivation of unused railway infrastructure<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Revitalise, develop, transform<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Combining the advantages of private and public transport<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Instead of revolution: an evolution of existing possibilities<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Focus on social justice, intergenerational justice and inclusion<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>As good as your own car: made in NRW, tested in OWL<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/article>\n                    <\/div>\n    \n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_192f98814169f96cb04e586faaa87274\" class=\"block block-box nuevo--block-box background-color-block_bg__38c1071b07afd5eb32fa5b8d37af99fa\" background=\"block_bg__38c1071b07afd5eb32fa5b8d37af99fa\"><div class=\"content-container\">\n\n                    <div class=\"block_headline\">\n            <h2><center>3 pillars of sustainability<\/center><br><\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        \n            <div class=\"gridWrapper layout-centered box-default\">\n                                            <div class=\"grid grid-sm-1-2 grid-lg-1-3\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content boxBg\">\n                        <div class=\"box-head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon\" alt=\"\u00d6kologisch\" src=\"https:\/\/monocab-system.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/icon_oekologisch.svg\" \/><h3 class=\"like-h4 box-headline\">Ecological<\/h3><\/div><span class=\"text\"><p>Compact, lightweight, battery-electric rail vehicles<\/p>\n<\/span>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"grid grid-sm-1-2 grid-lg-1-3\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content boxBg\">\n                        <div class=\"box-head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon\" alt=\"Wirtschaftlich\" src=\"https:\/\/monocab-system.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/icon_wirtschaftlich.svg\" \/><h3 class=\"like-h4 box-headline\">Economical<\/h3><\/div><span class=\"text\"><p>Return on investment for the common good in the fulfilment of public services of general interest and for equal living conditions in urban and rural areas<\/p>\n<\/span>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"grid grid-sm-1-2 grid-lg-1-3\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content boxBg\">\n                        <div class=\"box-head\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon\" alt=\"Sozial\" src=\"https:\/\/monocab-system.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/icon_sozial.svg\" \/><h3 class=\"like-h4 box-headline\">Social<\/h3><\/div><span class=\"text\"><p>IPNV for living in the countryside without your own car: private, individual, safe<\/p>\n<\/span>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    \n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_5444425911d4a94739dd1a3cbd13651f\" class=\"block block-text nuevo--block-text background-color-block_bg__c8ab73585911b27b04e0a7899a813464\" background=\"block_bg__c8ab73585911b27b04e0a7899a813464\">\n<div class=\"content-container col-2 direction-left width-100\">\n\n            <div class=\"block_headline\">\n            <h2><center>Out of competition instead of in competition<br><br><\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"gridWrapper\">\n                            <article class=\"grid grid-md-1-2\">\n                    <div class=\"grid-content\">\n                        <p>There have been and still are many attempts to replace the classic railway with a different track-based transport system. None of them have been successful so far. The MONOCAB therefore pursues a completely different goal: supplementing instead of replacing!<\/p>\n<p>We want to reactivate the existing disused rail infrastructure: by using small and light rail vehicles. And quickly and efficiently! The goal: to create attractive offers that are comparable to the private car. Only then will it be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>This is why MONOCAB is focussing on sustainable, combined mobility that meets the needs of the population in rural areas. On demand-orientated, networked mobility chains instead of isolated solutions. IPNV as a feeder and bridge in local public transport.<\/p>\n<p>What is already travelling is networked with what will soon be travelling: from the car to the MONOCAB to the regional train station. Or by bike to the MONOCAB in the city.
