This high-energy super-capacitor tram has seven carriages and can carry maximum of 500 passengers. Adopting innovative self-driving technology, it can charge completely within 30 seconds, and run five kilometers, with maximum speed of 70 km/h.

The tram will be used at the Kunming Changshui International Airport, said Nie Wenbin, general manager of the research and development department of Urban Rail System under CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co Ltd.
