The 2027 APEC summit is scheduled to be held on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam (belonging to An Giang Province). To ensure the smooth running of the summit, An Giang Province has been tasked with implementing 21 key APEC supporting projects , with a total investment of approximately VND 13,713.8 billion . Among these, the first phase of the Phu Quoc Island light rail project has been approved for implementation under  a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model , with the Sun Group as the project owner and a total investment of nearly  VND 900 billion .

Develop strategic transportation infrastructure for Phu Quoc Island

The first phase of the city light rail project Phu Quoc International Airport – APEC Meeting and Exhibition Center ) is a strategically important transportation infrastructure project on Phu Quoc Island, playing a key role in guiding urban spatial layout, driving regional development, and cultivating new growth drivers.

The line will seamlessly connect Phu Quoc International Airport, the APEC Conference and Exhibition Center, and the core cultural, tourism, leisure, and entertainment areas in the southern part of the island. Following  the TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) model , it will effectively enhance the land value and overall benefits along the route.

At the same time, Phu Quoc Island will become the first city in Vietnam to have a light rail (LRT) system , demonstrating its clear goal of building a green, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly public transportation system.

Project technical parameters and train configuration

 The first phase of the line is approximately 17.56 kilometers long , including:

  • Elevated section : 0.78 kilometers

  • Ground section : 14.81 km

  • Underground section : 2 kilometers

The entire line has a total of  6 stations , including  1 underground station and 5 surface stations .

The trains are  3-car light rail trains with a design speed of  70–100 km/h and a maximum one-way capacity of approximately  4,500 passengers per hour .

The entire line consists of  14 trains , each with 3 carriages. To ensure the smooth hosting of APEC 2027, the first batch of trains is scheduled to arrive in Phu Quoc Island in January 2027 , fully demonstrating CRRC Dalian's comprehensive strength in production organization, delivery capabilities, and contract fulfillment.

The trains provided by CRRC Dalian for the Phu Quoc Island project were designed with full consideration of the local tourism attributes and the characteristics of the island environment, specifically including:

  • The dual-section viewing window design optimizes the view on the elevated section and enhances the sightseeing experience;

  • Large luggage racks better meet the travel needs of tourists;

  • The application of salt spray and corrosion-resistant materials ensures the long-term stable operation of vehicles in island environments.

The overall solution achieves an organic combination of high-quality manufacturing and meticulous local adaptation while balancing efficient production and on-time delivery.

All parties highly praised the prospects for cooperation.

Sun Group expressed high praise for the technical solutions and vehicle lifecycle maintenance and repair support solutions proposed by CRRC Dalian, and fully recognized its technical strength and contract performance capabilities. The Group looks forward to deepening cooperation between the two parties in more projects in the future.
