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.
