Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has completed the development of a high-speed Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) System achieving a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour (kph), roughly the twice the speed compared to current so-called “automated guideway transit system.” The high-speed AGT newly developed by MHI achieves velocities up to 120kph, making the system suited to routes connecting inner cities with their suburbs, eliminating the need to change trains. Adoption of the new AGT will thereby increase convenience for large numbers of commuters and other users.
Besides the feature of higher speeds, MHI’s high-speed AGT system has made significant improvement in reducing both the riding vibration and noise through the adoption of new bogies incorporating MHI’s proprietary technology. Together with refined exterior design and its sophisticated urban chic interior design make MHI’s new offering a harbinger of next-generation new transit systems.
