China is going for another world’s first with their new train design which mixes bus, tram and train all in one.

Except instead of following the usual metal rails, it follows the dotted white lines painted on the road.




China has unveiled a track-less train that runs on virtual rails in a bid to speed up public transportation in major cities.

The new trains were announced on June 2 in Zhuzhou, China's Hunan province and are said to be non-polluting, reports the People's Daily Online.

The Chinese rail corporation began designing the new system in 2013 and it is set to begin operating in 2018.

The transit system uses rubber wheels on a plastic core and has new technology copyrighted by the Chinese rail corporation.

It means that the trains can be automatically guided without rails.

It is set to be launched in the city of Zhuzhou in a bid to help traffic numbers in the area.

According to reports, the new train is set to cost around the fifth of the price of a traditional subway system which usually costs around 400 million yuan to 700 yuan (£45.6 - £79 million).

The track-less train is also said to have a life-span of around 25 years and is said to be non-polluting.






The first car is just over 100 feet in length with a maximum passenger load of 307 people.

It has a top speed of 70 kilometres an hour and after ten minutes of charging can travel 25 kilometres.

The new system is set to go into operation fully next year.

According to chief engineer Feng Jianghua, the train identifies the pavement and has various sensors to emit travel information to the train.

This then enables the vehicle to follow guidance from the virtual track.

I weep for my country We still de struggle with rail line..

This is really nice, They are always looking for ways to improve.

See development while here in Nigeria
Our leaders dey build churches up and down the street.

These guys are already testing futuristic ideas and we are still struggling with tribalism and religion. Nigeria is just a fraction of China both in population and land mass but they are united in fighting the scourge of poverty and under development. Let's unite both my Biafran agitators to the Kaduna declarayors down to the Oduduwa kinsmen. The world has gone beyond these bickering and have faced real issues like making our lives better.

Thanks and regards

Wtf. These guys are something else. The earlier the shithole called Nigeria take advantage of her oil the better cos in 10 years time, it will be useless.

That's when the real recession will hit Nigeria

Nothing special there, this train has normal hard tires that does not require air. the lines are just to guide for direction.

just like a molue but the tires are build without air in them. not punctureable
