China has achieved a significant technological milestone by successfully testing the world’s first wireless rail convoy system. In this trial, seven heavy freight trains, each carrying nearly 5,000 tonnes, were operated as a single coordinated unit without any physical coupling. The test was conducted on the Baoshen Railway in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This advanced system relies on continuous wireless communication between trains and between trains and ground control, enhancing efficiency, safety, and capacity in freight transportation while showcasing innovation in railway automation.
