Fully Automated through Dubai.

With the Red Line into the Guiness Book of Records 

Monorail in King Abdullah Economoic City
Voith Turbo Scharfenberg Couplers make a significant contribution to the driving comfort and the safety.

On 09 September 2009, starting at 09:09 pm in the evening, the first of meanwhile two metro lines entered service. After Haifa, Cairo and Tehran, it is just the fourth metro in the Near East. And as always in Dubai, the city with the highest buildings in the world, the metro also comes along with a few outstanding superlatives.

 

 

In Deira, the intersection of the Red and the Green Line, construction is underway for what will be the world's largest underground metro station with 25 000 square meters. However, what makes this metro on a route network of 76 kilometers so unique is that it runs fully automated - and completely driverless. This has ensured it a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

 

 

The couplers for the altogether 87 trains built by the Japanese manufacturer Kinki Sharyo were supplied by Voith Turbo Scharfenberg. This is not exactly a record, but we are still very proud. Because the couplers make a significant contribution to the driving comfort and the safety of both lines.
