Underground to the Airport: Line 17-Gold and Urban Mobility

According to cnnbrasil, the city of São Paulo is preparing for a technological leap in public transport with the arrival of the BYD train. This innovative vehicle, produced in distant Guang’an, China, is already on its way to Brazil, with an expected arrival at the Port of Santos in July this year.

First Stop of the BYD Train: Innovation and Comfort

The first of 14 trains ordered by the São Paulo Metro from BYD, a multinational giant in the sector, has officially been delivered. This marks the beginning of a new era for rail transport in the metropolis. With a modern design and cutting-edge features, these trains are the embodiment of technological advancement.

Connectivity and Accessibility

In addition, each train consists of five interconnected cars, equipped with air conditioning, LED lighting, and an advanced surveillance system. The wide doors and accessibility standards ensure the inclusion of all São Paulo residents, especially those with reduced mobility.

BYD Train: A Synonym for Technology and Sustainability

The Train Monitoring Control System (TCMS) and CBTC signaling are true engineering triumphs, allowing for safer and more efficient operation. They feature electric motors and traction batteries that ensure trip continuity, even in case of power interruptions.
