China Has Begun Testing a Brand New Type of Electric Transportation

“China’s CRRC Corporation has started testing a new public transport vehicle that blurs the lines between a train and a bus. Dubbed the Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) system, it can carry up to 300 passengers across three carriages at speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour.

ART bears the physical appearance of a train but it doesn’t rely on following a track. Instead, it follows a virtual route using an electric powertrain and tires. It’s expected to function much like an urban train or a tram, but since there’s no investment cost in laying down rails, it should be much cheaper to implement…”
