Chinese rail car manufacturer CRRC Qingdao Sifang has unveiled a prototype of a mounted monorail train with a maximum operating speed of 70 kilometers per hour, the fastest of its kind in China.
The mounted monorail train is a rising new mode of transportation featuring light weight, moderate speed and low manufacturing cost.
Driven by a high-efficiency magnet motor, the experimental train runs along an overhead monorail.
The train is built to the strictest European safety standards, with various safety devices, including a whole-train monitoring system that can help passengers escape in the event of danger.
