In 1979, after testings and granting of the first patents (by the UK, followed by Japan, Germany, United States, France, and Brazil, among others), the Brazilian Urban Transport Company (Empresa Brasileira de Transportes Urbanos – EBTU) became a project partner and in the same year, a contract was signed between Coester and EBTU. In 1983, the construction of the Pilot Line began. With an extension of approximately 1 km, the Aeromovel made its first trip in downtown Porto Alegre, running along Avenida Loureiro da Silva.
