<p>Bateau boats which can be loaded on trucks completed a test run on Thursday on a river in Luding county, Sichuan Province, hit by a deadly 6.8-magnitude earthquake earlier this week. The boats are able to form a floating bridge 50 meters long and 8.3 meters wide and are capable of helping evacuate earthquake-trapped villagers and deliver disaster relief materials and equipment.<br/></p><p><br/></p>
