- Economic and operational synergy from use of all TRAM Power technologies.
- Tramways proven to attract car commuters, so reduce traffic and congestion.
- Significant environmental benefits from lower toxic air pollution and street noise.
- Renewable generation gives carbon-free sustainable energy.
- Faster installation and less urban disruption reduces capital costs.
- Power generation revenue means private capital can be rewarded more quickly.
- In many places, privately funded tramways can be financially viable.
- This allows tramways to be considered in small towns (eg. population of 75,000)
- Standardisation of equipment means lower system operating costs.
- Tramways can be built in sensitive areas, as LR55 tracks and OHL have minimum disturbance during speedy installation and a low visual impact.
- A demonstration tramway is being constructed in Preston. This will use all key Tram Power technologies.
- Other tramways are being pursued in Southwark, Warrington, Chester and Lancaster. Trampower is also helping with a new tramway for Galway.
