Dec 09, 2025 01:23 pm CST

China has successfully tested an innovative wireless coupling system for freight trains, allowing seven 5,000-tonne trains to operate in coordinated formation without mechanical connections. Developed by China Shenhua Energy, this ADAS-like technology enables dynamic distance management between trains, increasing railway capacity without building new tracks. The system represents a significant advancement in China's already extensive freight railway network that moved over three billion tonnes of cargo in the first three quarters of this year.
