Cater MetroTrolley

MetroTrolley is a battery electric vehicle developed in response to zero emission railcar requirements in certain environments. Its aim is to replace the road-rail vehicle used for ultrasonic flaw detection nondestructive testing. Previous trolley types do not have full rail inspection capabilities or do not have zero emissions. It was developed in 2007 by the Centre for Advanced Transport Engineering and Research (CATER) in Western Australia primarily for ultrasonic rail flaw detection.
