1.1 Dual Mode The RUF vehicles can change mode at 30 km/h. The transition from driving to "riding" is natural and simple.
	1.2 Close coupling All RUF vehicles comply to the RUF standard. The coupling ensures very low emissions, high capacity and eliminate collisions within the RUF-train.
	1.3 Power from the rail The RUFs are powered from small batteries (or hybrid units) on the normal roads. On the rail the range is unlimited and the batteries can be recharged.
	1.4 Cost effective High ridership combined with low construction costs ensures a short payback time for the investment.
