en.Wedoany.com Reported - A consortium comprising China Railway 16th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and Vietnam Railways Corporation has won the bid for the Track Engineering Package I of the Phu Quoc Island Tram Project in Vietnam, marking another significant achievement in China-Vietnam rail transit cooperation. This project is one of the key transportation infrastructure initiatives being advanced by Vietnam in preparation for the 2027 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit. CRRC Dalian will supply 14 customized trains for the project.

The project's total line length is approximately 17.56 kilometers, consisting of a 0.78-kilometer elevated section, a 14.81-kilometer at-grade section, and a 2-kilometer underground section. It will feature a total of 6 stations (1 underground station and 5 at-grade stations). The entire line will be equipped with 14 trainsets, each consisting of 3 cars. The designed operating speed is 70-100 km/h, with an hourly passenger capacity of approximately 4,500. To meet the transportation needs for the APEC 2027 conference, the first batch of trains is expected to arrive on Phu Quoc Island in January 2027.

The line will connect Phu Quoc International Airport with the APEC Conference Center. Upon completion, it will become a crucial component of the local modern public transportation system. It will not only ensure transportation during the summit but also help Phu Quoc Island establish itself as an international tourism and conference hub, promoting regional economic development.
