The vertebrate train of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria this vehicle required, by its own design, a track totally incompatible with the existing railway network, based on long concrete beams on which the composition supported by independent treads located on the sides of the vehicle and not in its lower part, as is usual in conventional trains or cars. According to its inventor, in this way it was achieved that the train was non-derailing, by placing the center of gravity in the same plane as the additional guide wheels and, therefore, the tipping torque was zero.
O comboio vertebrado de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria este veículo exigiu, pela sua própria concepção, uma via totalmente incompatível com a rede ferroviária existente, baseada em longas vigas de betão sobre a qual a composição é suportada por faixas independentes localizadas nas laterais do veículo e não na sua parte inferior, como é habitual nos comboios ou vagões convencionais.
De acordo com o seu inventor, conseguiu-se desta forma que o comboio não descarrilasse, colocando o centro de gravidade no mesmo plano que as rodas de guia e, portanto, o binário de inclinação era zero.

De vertebrale trein van Las Palmas de Gran Canaria vereiste, omwille van het ontwerp, een spoor dat volledig incompatibel was met het bestaande spoornetwerk. Dit ontwerp was gebaseerd op lange betonnen balken waarop de trein hing, ondersteund door wielen aan de zijkant van het voertuig in plaats van de onderzijde zoals meer conventionele treinen of auto's. Volgens de uitvinder kon de trein op deze manier niet ontsporen omdat het zwaartepunt zich op hetzelfde vlak bevond als de geleidingswielen en het kantelmoment zo dus nul wasop deze manier gelijk was aan nul.
