China's energy-saving subway goes into operation
2016-08-12 10:04 | Xinhua | Editor: Mo Hong'e
China's first permanent magnet subway train, which saves up to 30 percent energy compared with traditional trains, has gone into service in central China's Hunan Province.
The subway train, in provincial capital Changsha, is equipped with a permanent magnet tractor system which has higher power density and is more power efficient, Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co. Ltd. announced.
The train was developed by Changsha Metro Group, CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co. Ltd., and Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co. Ltd.
If used on all subways in Changsha, the system could save the city 5.5 million yuan (830,000 U.S. dollars) of power cost every year, according to the announcement.
International train maker Alstom and Bombardier have used permanent magnet tractor technology in Japan and France.

China is leading the way forward in energy conservation and that is GOOD for the world. The rest of the world should emulate China's example.

Metro news from Taiwan. I expect Taiwan's metro to be in a better shape, but it doesn't look to be.

AIRPORT MRT : Gov't gives go-ahead despite missed targets
The China Post news staff
August 28, 2016, 12:13 am TWN
The mass rapid transit (MRT) line linking Taipei and the Taoyuan airport has seen major improvements in safety and stability, but initial runs of its trains will not be as fast as intended, a government committee diagnosing the problematic transport project said Saturday.
The committee gave the greenlight for the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport MRT line to start working toward commercial operation, but it did not set a timeline for public availability.
Despite marked improvements in stability and safety, the trains have yet to reach their speed targets.
Therefore, they will run at an interval of 12 minutes at peak hours during initial operation rather than the 10 minutes designated in the contract with the system builder, the committee said. Off-peak runs will be scheduled at an interval of 15 minutes, the committee said as it presented the conclusions of its investigation.
The MRT has been beset by various system and mechanical problems, missing the deadline for commercial operations for the sixth time in March this year. The Transport Ministry declined to set a new target date when announcing the sixth delay.
After taking office in May, Transport Minister Ho Chen Tan formed a committee of experts to diagnose the problems of the airport MRT.
Chiang Yao-chung, head of the diagnosing committee, said the Taoyuan Metro Company, which will run the airport MRT, had already confirmed the initial train schedules and begun trial runs.
Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan, responding to the committee's findings and suggestions, said that the top priority for the system was to make sure it was safe, stable and able to start commercial runs as soon as possible.
Cheng, whose government oversees the Taoyuan Metro Company, said the committee had determined that there were no major concerns for the system's safety, and it was 98-percent stable.
It will not open to the public until stability reaches 99 percent, Cheng said.
But the mayor said no concessions would be made on the terms set in the contract with the system constructor, despite the committee's suggestion to run the trains at intervals less frequent than initially planned.
Cheng said the system's commercial operations would start before the Bureau of High Speed Rail made its final inspections and formally took delivery of the system.
The bureau, a body of the Transport Ministry, has been overseeing the construction of the airport MRT.
The airport MRT will have to have the operational capability stipulated in the contract, the mayor said, adding the Taoyuan Metro Company will schedule initial runs according to actual demands.

Unmanned metro to launch in 2017
(People's Daily Online) August 29, 2016
Staff workers with the CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co test a subway train to be used in Beijing’s Yanfang Line in Changchun, capital of Northeast China’s Jilin province, Oct 15, 2015.[Photo/Xinhua]
Beijing has announced plans to unveil the country’s first domestically developed, fully automated subway next year, in tandem with the scheduled opening of the Yanfang line.
The new line will connect the southeastern suburb of Yanshan, which houses a number of petroleum and chemical enterprises, with Fangshan, where passengers can transfer to trains bound for the center of Beijing.
The operating system for the new line, which requires neither drivers nor attendants, is currently undergoing factory testing, and is expected to launch by the end of 2017.
The benefits of a fully automated subway system include greater safety, better efficiency and a reduced workload for operators. Such systems are therefore growing in popularity worldwide.
China began research for the automated subway system in 2010, in accordance with the Made-in-China 2025 strategy, a 10-year national plan for intelligent manufacturing. The introduction of the technology signifies that China has reached an advanced international level in the field of urban railway systems.
Apart from the Yanfang line, at least four other lines, including Subway Lines 3, 12, 17 and 19, will use the automated system.
