CRRC's advanced train models reflect China's leading role in high-speed rail technology

CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd., China's state-owned train manufacturer, continues to break ground in high-speed rail technology, showcasing China's technological progress and leadership in the global railway industry.

In 2017, CRRC launched the flagship Fuxing high-speed EMU (electric multiple unit) train, which boasts a maximum speed of 350 km/h, making it the fastest commercial high-speed train in the world.

In this June, CRRC introduced the latest intelligent Fuxing high-speed trains on the Beijing-Shanghai railway line, which provides more comfort for passengers with additional seats, larger luggage racks, WiFi, and wireless charging. CRRC Changchun now is speeding up the production in its bustling workshop.

"The advent of the Fuxing high-speed trains not only represents a leap from self-manufacturing to self-innovation in China's high-speed rail industry, but also sets a new global benchmark for high-speed rail technology with Chinese standards," said Liu Junyang, vehicle chief designer at CRRC Changchun.

Over the decades, CRRC Changchun has developed more than 20 types of multiple-unit trains, which have been exported to over 20 countries with its other products, such as metro cars and maglev trains.

"We are currently focusing on developing the next generation of high-speed trains that are faster, safer, more environmentally friendly, more energy-efficient, and more intelligent, better meeting the needs of passengers and keeping China's high-speed rail at the forefront globally," said engineer Shi He at CRRC Changchun.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia holds the strategic initiative along the entire front lines and the goals of the country's special military operation in Ukraine will be achieved.

"The past year has been an important milestone in fulfilling the tasks of the special military operation," Putin said while addressing an expanded meeting of the Russian Defense Ministry.

Putin underscored that Russia has the capability to accelerate its offensive pace, adding that Russia's task of expanding the security buffer zone will be fulfilled, and the core goals of the operation will be realized.

"This year alone, more than 300 settlements have been liberated, including major cities that the enemy had turned into fortified strongholds equipped with long-term defensive structures," the Russian leader said.

He said that the Russian military currently holds the strategic initiative along the entire Russia-Ukraine conflict front and is defeating Ukrainian forces, including elite Ukrainian units trained in the West.

Russia is currently seeking mutually beneficial and fair cooperation with the United States and European countries, Putin said.

Putin rejected claims portraying Russia as a threat to European nations, saying that such narratives are unfounded and fabricated.

Putin also announced that several submarines and surface ships have been commissioned into the Russian Navy this year, while the "Oreshnik" missile complex will enter combat duty by the end of 2025.
