[Now News Channel]The government will announce the research results of the East Kowloon Elevated MRT system as soon as the middle of the year. The elevated all-electric “Yunbus” is one of the options under consideration. What are the characteristics of “Yunbus”? Is the cost of each vehicle expensive?
Welcome to Pingshan Yunba. This train running on the viaduct looks somewhat similar to the MTR South Island Line, but if you look carefully, there are no overhead cables on the bridge.
It is called “Yunba”, and it has been operating in Pingshan District, Shenzhen since December last year. It has a total length of 8.5 kilometers and 11 stations. Each train has four cars, each car can carry about 70 people, and the maximum speed is 80 kilometers per hour.
Mr. Guo, a Shenzhen resident: “It’s very comfortable, very comfortable. If it’s fast, it’s also so stable.”
Mr. Lai, a Shenzhen resident: “It’s a little shaky, but it’s convenient to travel and very cost-effective.”
Yunba is unmanned, and there is no cab at the front of the car, but at least one staff member will follow the car on each bus to deal with emergencies.
Yunba was developed by BYD, a mainland electric car manufacturer. The biggest difference from the MTR is that its power supply mainly depends on the battery of each truck, and it can travel about 200 kilometers every 40 minutes.
Ouyang Xiaocheng, senior sales director of BYD’s Asia-Pacific Automobile Sales Division: “We have an independent power system for each car. Even if three of them fail and the power of one car is normal, he can also use the Normal vehicles continue to push or pull to the next platform. There is an escape channel in the middle of the track beams, the difference is less than one meter in height, and people walking in the middle will feel a sense of safety, which is better.”
Hong Kong plans to build an elevated MRT system in the East Kowloon Mountains. BYD pointed out that Yunba has strong climbing ability and small turning radius, which is suitable for use in mountainous areas. It is expected to be much cheaper than “heavy rail” trains.
Ouyang Xiaocheng: “One carriage is equivalent to the price of a double-decker electric bus in Hong Kong. Of course, each region and each customer has his own requirements, and he will customize, change some molds, and do some technical design Changes will bring about a series of cost increases. I believe that when this project is actually implemented in the future, we will discuss with multiple partners before we can finally decide on the price.”
He also pointed out that if you want to carry more passengers in each cloud bus, you can technically add additional trucks.
