COST ANALYSISFirst Cost, Operating Expenses, and
Replacement Cost

• First Cost
• Hytran 25- 30 million/mile VS. light rail
  45-110 million/mile
• Acquisition/ Condemnation costs for new corridors
• Accelerated construction sequence (saves )
  Lincoln Logs.
• Minimal construction disruptions and reduced
  adverse impacts
• Operating Expenses
• Energy is a 30-35 reduction over light rail
  (zero energy balance capability), AC digital
  motors w/NO replaceable moving parts
• Zero maintenance exterior surfaces, guideways,
  and cars
• Fully automated operation mitigates risks and
  increasing liability costs
• Replacement Cost
• Extremely high life cycle value, relocation,
  addition ready, updateable, and recyclable

Hytran through its fully developed implementation
will generate, at a minimum, an estimated 10,000
