The subject of the competition was the design of two similar funicular cars with a capacity of up to 120 passengers each. Specifically, this involves the design of the body (bodywork) and interior of the cars, while allowing for the use of standard elements outside and inside. The client does not foresee further series production, and for this reason the design will have to be based on an optimal proportion of existing elements, technologies and, where appropriate, components available on the market.
As a result of the competition, the winning design will be developed into a design study in consultation with the Transport Company of the Capital City of Prague. Prague and renowned manufacturers. Subsequently, DPP will announce a separate public tender for the manufacturer of the new cars of the cableway to Petřín according to the winning competition proposal or the study prepared by the designer. The designer will cooperate with the winning manufacturer to prepare the production documentation for the new cable cars to Petřín.
