Beijing, March 25
China plans to test driverless trains on a new Metro line in Shanghai by the end of this month, the Shanghai Shentong Metro Group said.
Stretching 6.7 km, the Automated People Mover system (APM) line links the Huizhen Road and Shendu Highway Station, where passengers can transfer to line eight. It has six stations.
With a lightweight design and an intelligent energy management system, the driverless trains will consume less energy compared with regular trains, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The APM system has been used widely across the world and has previously been introduced in Beijing and Guangzhou.
Currently, Shanghai has the world’s longest Metro network of 666 km. PTI
