China's first monorail train powered by permanent magnet synchronous motors has completed a test run.

China's largest train manufacturer has developed the country's first monorail train powered by permanent magnet synchronous motors, marking a breakthrough in efforts to boost rail transit innovation. The motors also enable the transit system to save 10 percent in energy as well as drastically cut noise levels during operation. The train will produce even less noise than a car, even as it goes speeds of 70 km/h.
