比亚迪单轨交通系统“云轨项目”在国内多座城市落地。日前，从比亚迪内部人士处获悉，公司将与菲律宾正式签约，将在该国铺设一条长达20公里的“云轨”。这是该项目首次落户海外，所谓云轨，是比亚迪针对世界各国城市拥堵问题推出的战略性解决方案，由1000人组成的研发团队历时5年，花费50亿元打造而成的中小运力单轨交通系统。相比于轨道交通应用广泛的地铁而言，虽然“云轨”运力相对来说比较小（约8节车厢近万人），但优势也非常明显，官方表示它造价仅为地铁的1/5，建设周期仅为地铁的1/3；爬坡能力强，转弯半径小。噪音低，可从城市建筑群中穿过；桥梁通透，独立路权，景观性好，能很好适应城市生态环境；编组灵活，运能为1-3万人/小时；时速可达80公里/小时。目前，在深圳，云轨产品中第一条试验路线，一条开放总里程长达4.4公里的云轨已经正常运行了10个月，而在短短不到一年时间里，比亚迪“云轨项目”已经在中国多个城市进行了布局。
BYD will Sign Agreement with the Philippines to Land its “Cloud-Track” Project
BYD's single track transportation system“Cloud-Track”has been landed in many domestic cities. Currently, it's known from BYD insiders that the company would sign agreement with the Philippines to construct a“cloud track”with a length of 20KM.
It's the first time that the project lands in overseas market. The“cloud track”project is BYD's strategic plan to solve the crowded traffic across all global cities. A R&D team with 1,000 members took five years' time and RMB 5b funds to create the medium and small capacity single-track transportation system.
Compared with the widely used subways, cloud track has relatively small capacity which could only hold 10,000 peoples in eight carriages. But the cost and construction time only take 1/5 and 1/3 of subways respectively. It has strong capabilities in climbing and short turning radius. It has little noise, making it available to move through buildings. It will also provide good sightseeing and could adapt to city ecological environments well. The speed could reach 80KM/H and it will carry 10,000 to 30,000 persons every hour.
The first trial line with length of 4.4KM has been operated in Shenzhen for 10 months. Other routes have been covering many domestic cities in the past year.
