“In China, the world’s first metro train made of carbon fiber was launchedIn the city of Qingdao, the innovative metro train CETROVO 1.0, made of composite materials based on carbon fiber, went into operation. The transport is 11% lighter than traditional models and consumes 7% less energy.”, — write on: unn.ua
Details
The design of the train is much lighter than traditional models thanks to the use of carbon fiber for the body and frame. This made it possible to reduce their weight by 25% and 50% respectively, resulting in an overall 11% lighter vehicle.
CETROVO 1.0’s energy efficiency is also impressive: a new design approach helps reduce energy consumption by 7%, which contributes to a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The train is expected to reduce harmful emissions by 130 tons annually, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
The interior of the train also showcases the use of carbon fiber, from the stylish black seats to the ergonomic control panel. The design combines minimalism and advanced technologies, creating an atmosphere of the future.
An additional innovation was the SmartCare system, created for maintenance. Thanks to the use of digital doubles, it provides real-time monitoring of the condition of the train, automatic detection of faults and optimization of repair processes. This significantly reduces vehicle maintenance costs and increases its reliability.
