Remove ads
The Nancy Guided Light Transit or TVR was a guided trolleybus system in Nancy, France. The system used Bombardier's TVR (French: Transport sur Voie Réservée) technology. It encompassed one era, from 2000 to 2023, of the Nancy trolleybus system and replaced the conventional trolleybus service in Nancy during that period.[1] The GLT/TVR system was closed on 12 March 2023, and is to be replaced by conventional trolleybuses serving the same route.[3]

Vehicles
The system used rubber-tyred, three-section articulated vehicles. The vehicles used trolley poles to collect current from parallel overhead lines, and also ran independently without the central guide rail.[1]

History
The system was implemented as a replacement for the trolleybus network.[1] Operation of the 10 km (6.2 mi) long line began in 2000. The system had problems with derailing vehicles, as well as heavy wear and tear of the pavement.[1] In 2018, 12 vehicles from Caen were transferred to Nancy for use as spare parts donors.[4]
Closure and replacement
The TVR system was planned to be replaced by a conventional low-floor tram system;[1] however, due to high costs and steep gradients the TVR was replaced by conventional bi-articulated trolleybuses entering service on 5 April 2025.[5]
