CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co., Ltd. announced that its self-developed new smart tram was officially unveiled at 2:00 a.m. local time on April 2 in Istanbul, Türkiye, and started trial operation.

The trial run of the smart rail tram selected the European siding section of the Istanbul METROBUS line, which is about 40 kilometers long and has 37 stations along the way, providing citizens with convenient new transportation options.

The intelligent tram test run conducted in Istanbul this time was developed specifically to meet the local demand for high passenger flow. It has achieved comprehensive upgrades in intelligence, comfort, safety, energy conservation and environmental protection, demonstrating excellent performance. This intelligent tram is equipped with advanced intelligent driving technology and has the ability to operate on the main line with manned full automatic driving, greatly improving operational efficiency. At the same time, its design has a speed of up to 100 kilometers per hour and a maximum passenger capacity of over 420 people, providing citizens with a fast and convenient travel experience. The entire vehicle is 40.2 meters long and features a brand new streamlined hood design. This design not only enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle, but also effectively reduces air resistance, making the intelligent tram more stable and energy-efficient during operation.
