In Pictures: This is how Lahore Orange Line train looks like
The designed maximum operational speed of the train is around 80 km per hour.
CHANGSHA (Web Desk) – The new train designed for Lahore Orange Line Project at the CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Corporation Limited has rolled off the production line in central China’s Hunan Province on Monday, the first of 27, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The train with five coaches has been designed for the 25.58 km Orange Line Metro in Lahore, Pakistan’s second largest city.
An energy-saving air-conditioning system suitable for the constant high summer temperature and unstable voltage in Pakistan is the showpiece of the design, according to a corporation engineer.
The design combines the national flower of Pakistan and the shape of the dome of the Badshahi Mosque.
Heat-resistant bogies increase durability, said the engineer.
The designed maximum operational speed of the train is around 80 km per hour. It will be delivered in July with another 26 following by the end of the year.
Orange Line Metro train route will spread from Ali Town to Thokar Niaz Baig, from Multan Road to Scheme Mor, Chowburji, MAO College, Mall Road, Laxmi Chowk and Railway Station, from Garhi Shahu Bridge to GT Road and UET and from Pakistan Mint to Dera Gojran.
