en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 11 local time, the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup will kick off in Mexico. The 115 light rail trains developed by CRRC have been put into operation in "event mode" across three host cities—Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara—with an expected daily passenger volume of over 1.25 million. Fans from around the world can conveniently reach the World Cup opening ceremony main venue and various competition sites aboard these "Made in China" light rail trains.
As the direct express line to the opening ceremony main venue—the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City—the light rail trains provided by CRRC for this route have been fully designed considering the plateau environment and rainy season characteristics, featuring regenerative braking, low-noise ventilation systems, and enhanced accessibility facilities. Monterrey Light Rail Line 1 connects directly to the Monterrey Stadium, with upgrades to the train's control system, energy efficiency, and operational performance. Guadalajara Light Rail Line 4 integrates the densely populated southern area into the rail transit network, allowing citizens and fans to transfer to the BRT loop line to reach the Akron Stadium.
Facing the triple challenges of Mexico City's high altitude, high humidity during the rainy season, and the massive passenger flow during the event, the CRRC team has launched an "all-weather" operational support service: establishing a three-tier linkage response mechanism, deploying additional senior service engineers to Mexico for on-site duty, and setting up a 24-hour emergency and technical support team to ensure the high-intensity, high-density, and highly reliable operation of the light rail trains during the event. From serving the Brazil World Cup and Rio Olympics to this US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, China's rail transit equipment continues to provide transportation support for top-tier global events.
