China's first nuclear fuel transport vehicle rolled off the production line in Zhuzhou Rolling Stock Plant in central-south China's Hunan province.

The vehicle, equipped with an inner wooden structure, thermal-protective coating, a venting system and a specially-designed buffer section, can maintain inside temperatures between minus 50 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius and ensure the safety of its cargo, according to an engineer in charge of production.

Currently, nuclear fuel is transported in China in regular trucks.

The Zhuzhou Vehicle Company is one of the country's largest lorry manufacturers. It has so far turned out more than 90,000 open freight trucks which account for one-third of the country's total.
