en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Gold Line of SkyShuttle Line 17, built by China's BYD Co., Ltd. for São Paulo, Brazil, officially commenced operations. This 6.7-kilometer monorail line connects São Paulo's Congonhas Airport with the city's public transportation network, marking BYD's first rail transit project operating overseas.
Planning for the line began in 2012, with an original completion target set for 2014. However, due to management chaos and frequent construction issues, the project faced repeated delays. In 2019, the original contractor completely withdrew, leaving the project stalled. In 2020, BYD took over the project. Faced with challenges such as differing technical standards, missing construction documents, and difficulties in multi-party coordination, the BYD team restructured the construction process from scratch, tackled technical hurdles one by one, and communicated repeatedly with local government authorities. After six years, the line was brought to the operational stage.
With the line's opening, local residents now enjoy greater travel convenience, and the long-standing regional traffic congestion has been alleviated. In an interview with the media, a local resident of São Paulo, Brazil, said: "Finally, this day has come. Chinese technology has made our city better."
