Chinese rolling stock company CNR Corporation Limited has revealed the design of its new driverless metro train for Beijing.
The manufacturer is supplying 60 eight-car automated units for Yangfang Line of the Beijing subway system.
The stainless steel trains will be the first vehicles in mainland China to meet the GOA 4 unattended train operation (UTO) standard, allowing trains to operate without a driver or any onboard crew, using domestic suppliers.
Each train will be able to carry 1,262 passengers and achieve a maximum operating speed of 80 km/h.
CNR plans to deliver the first train in May 2015.
