Through a vacant trial test for almost five months, China's first
modern slideway car system formerly went into service in the
Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA).
This modern slideway car project has the both traffic advantages
of buses and the light track traffic, with the use of the system
and rolling stocks developed by the French Laoer firm. Conserving
energy and protecting environment and with low noises, it is
pollution-free and represents one of the most sophisticated public
traffic networks around the world.
This sort of slideway car began spreading and hitting Europe to
date, and it has been introduced to China for the first time.
