New train features higher speed, fuel efficiency


Two prototypes debuted on Sunday, one developed by CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles and the other by CRRC Sifang Co, each of which has a slightly different interior design, although both focus on passenger comfort and a high-quality travel experience.
China State Railway Group has announced that further line tests and refinements will be conducted to ensure that the train meets all necessary standards for commercial operation, with the goal of making this cutting-edge technology available soon to passengers.
Li Yongheng, an official of China State Railway Group, said that since 2012, China's railway sector has independently developed a series of products with scientific and technological innovation, represented by the Fuxing high-speed electric multiple unit trains, and has established a complete high-speed-rail technology system encompassing engineering construction, equipment manufacturing and operations management.
