[VIDEO] China Unveils World's First Battery-Powered 'Rollercoaster Train'

The world's first battery-powered 'rollercoaster' trains which hang from the track suspended in mid-air have been revealed in China.

 

The unbelievable hanging carriages were captured in action in Chengdu, reaching speeds of up to 37mph on the upside down monorail.

 

The interesting trains, powered by lithium batteries, will be able to carry 120 passengers in each carriage.

 

But no official opening date has been declared for the suspended railway.

 

Zhai Wanming, chief designer of the project, said that the new train is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to electric and diesel rail systems.
