"Made in China" modern trams exported to Africa for the first time


The 70% low-floor trams exported from Ethiopia developed by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicle Co., Ltd. went offline in Changchun City, Jilin Province on the 26th. This is the first time that a “Made in China” modern tram has opened to the “Roof of Africa” and is also China’s first “plateau modern tram”.

The train will serve the first urban rail transit route in Ethiopia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Li Bo, deputy head of the development department of the Beijing Railway Passenger Car Co., Ltd., said that the trains exported to Ethiopia were covered in green and white clothes. According to the principle of bionics, the "waltus" is used as a source of inspiration for the front design, so the train looks utterly defamatory.

Urban rail transit in Africa is still in its infancy. At present, only Cairo, Egypt has opened a subway, and light rails and trams have been opened in Cairo, Alexandria and Tunisia across Europe. The trains will be operated in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which is also home to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the African Union.

With an altitude of 2400 meters above sea level in Addis Ababa, the following cars in the plateau environment will face super-ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the train designed and manufactured by CNR Changke Company can be called “the most sun-protected tram”. The use of laminated glass in the trams can “isolated” 90% of the UV rays. Other rubber, cable and other components also all meet the requirements of the highest level of UV protection class 5, in order to prevent components from aging in high UV environments.

According to Liu Gang, head of the export department of the overseas business unit of CNR Changke Stock Co., Ltd., according to the contract, CNR Changke will provide 41 rail cars for Ethiopia.

According to expert analysis, this project will provide an opportunity for China to continue to develop the rail transit market in other African countries.
