The 14.4-km tram track in Huangpu district, Guangzhou, south China’s Guangdong province was undertook by China Railway 22nd Bureau Group Co., Ltd., a CRCC subsidiary.
With super-capacitor energy storage and lithium-titanate batteries, the trams can be charged in less than 30 seconds at each stop, using the time passengers get on and off, and can operate without external wires on the line.
Making it easy for passengers, the trams also use a low-floor design.
