China Railway Engineering (CRE) has debuted a smart track-laying method on a 500m stretch of a high-speed rail line in Hunan Province, which it claims can cut site labour by some 63%.\nCTCE is a subsidiary of China Railway Group.\nChina Daily reports that the system uses a “long-rail intelligent sorting vehicle”, a push-and-roller recovery vehicle and a tractor.\nCalled “WPZ-500”, the system was developed with the assistance of Central South University based in Changsha, Hunan province, and Zhuzhou Xuyang Electromechanical Technology Development.\nTop image: The WPZ-500 system uses three vehicles to lay the rails (CTCE)Further reading:
