World's First: China tests automated platooning of 35,000-tonne heavy-haul train group https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/2fc8a1f9-00b9-49b4-a030-f6d2ea12c525 China's 35,000-tonne heavy-haul train group completed the world's first automated platooning test for such trains. During the test, seven 5,000-tonne freight trains formed a platoon via wireless signals rather than mechanical couplers. This approach makes freight transport safer, smoother, and more flexible, while reducing wear on tracks and wheels. This method is expected to boost coal transportation volume by more than 50 percent. #train #china Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-01-22/China-tests-automated-platooning-of-35-000-tonne-heavy-haul-train-group-1K8togo5OM0/p.html Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:29:23 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube World's First: China tests automated platooning of 35,000-tonne heavy-haul train group https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/2fc8a1f9-00b9-49b4-a030-f6d2ea12c525 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
