首列虚拟轨道列车亮相湖南株洲

The world's first railless train, developed by the CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Co. Ltd, unveiled in central China's Hunan province on Friday. The 30-meter train, with three carriages, is part of the intelligent rail express system by the developer, and runs on rubber tires rather than rails. The train can move at a speed of 70 km/h and can carry up to 500 passengers, offering new options for easing modern transport pressures. The train is also powered by electricity and can travel 40km per full charge. [Photo/VCG]

周五，中车株洲所研发的全球首列虚拟轨道列车亮相湖南。全车长30米，有3个车厢，是研发人员研制的智能轨道快运系统的一部分，它靠橡胶轮胎行驶而不需要行驶在铁轨上。其车速可达70km/h，可载500乘客，为缓解现代交通压力带来新选项。这列虚拟轨道列车同时也可由电力来驱动，全负荷状态下车速可达40km/h。
