The Nancy Guided Light Transit or TVR was a guided bus system in Nancy, France. The system used Bombardier's TVR (French: Transport sur Voie Réservée) technology. The TVR replaced the trolleybus system in Nancy.[1] The system was closed on 12 March 2023, and is to be replaced by conventional trolleybuses.[2]
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]

The system was implemented as a replacement for the trolleybus network.[1] Operation of the 11.1 km (6.9 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.[3]
Planned 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 will be replaced by trolleybuses.
