CRRC Qingdao Sifang announced that it had produced a prototype mounted monorail train with a maximum operational speed of 70 km per hour, the fastest of its kind in China. Driven by a permanent magnet motor, the experimental train runs along an overhead monorail.
The train can be composed of three or five train cars, with a passenger transport capacity of 300 and 510 people, respectively. The train has a strong climbing ability with a maximum inclining in an altitude up to 100 meters over a length of 1,000 meters. The mounted monorail system is suitable for passenger transport in mountainous regions and urban areas where road traffic is heavy.
CRRC Qingdao Sifang, based in Qingdao City (Shandong Province, east China), is undertaking China’s first overhead monorail project in Hancheng City (Shaanxi Province). The line will have 55 km and runs from the south to the north through the city, providing a link with the airport. The construction of the line began in November last year.
