A Toxin-Free Path: How Will uST Rid Cities of Harmful Pollution?
Toxic emissions, soil contamination, the destruction of green spaces – these are the unavoidable consequences of traditional transportation. Car exhaust, tire dust, and leaks of fuel and lubricants together pose a serious threat to both human health and the environment. uST offers a fundamentally different solution, eliminating most of these harmful factors.
Zero Exhaust Emissions
The uST rail electric vehicle is fully electric and does not use an internal combustion engine, meaning:
- No nitrogen oxides, carbon compounds, or fine particulate matter are released into the atmosphere.
- The gas balance around the track remains undisturbed.
- There are no localized air pollution hotspots, common at intersections and traffic jams.
This is especially critical for schools, healthcare facilities, and residential areas, where harmful substance concentrations often exceed acceptable limits during peak hours.
Minimizing Land Pollution and Preserving Soil
In the uST system, the rolling stock does not interact with the ground and asphalt, as the track is elevated above ground level. This ensures:
- No leaks of oil or fuel contaminating the soil.
- Water bodies are protected from toxic residues from tires and brake systems, which are often washed away by rain and snow.
- Fertile soil remains intact (with minimal land allocation required for construction).
A Technology That Produces No Dust
Conventional road transport releases enormous amounts of hazardous dust daily, caused by the wear of tires, brake pads, and road surfaces. This invisible threat accumulates in people’s lungs and eventually enters water systems. The uST system minimizes friction, preventing dust pollution. The combination of steel wheel and steel rail ensures minimal wear.
Transport That Maintains Environmental Balance
The uST transport and infrastructure complexes provide not only efficient logistics, but also a powerful tool for combating toxins. They help preserve clean air, water, and soil as urbanization continues to expand. By choosing uST, cities gain not only a modern and convenient transport system, but also a healthier future for their residents.
