When time came to move heavy loads at significant speed, Chinese invented the wheel. When men discovered ways to compact engines, they invented automotive systems such as locomotives and cars. Able to move heavier loads, they assembled one active vehicle (the locomotive) and several passive vehicles (carriages) in which passengers and payload were transported. Trains were invented. Most of the trains are using steel wheel/rails combination. Progress in constructing railways and designing carriages suspensions have allowed the system to reach a high standard of passengers comfort while reaching sustainable operation at high speed (more than 250km/h). On the other hand, low speed systems such as APM allow a wider choice in rolling stocks. At the beginning, most of the APM were using steel wheel/rail rolling stock, even though some attempts had been made in Paris Metro for instance, decided to use tire propulsion on several line of its network.
