On January 9, China State Railway Group (China Railway Group) held a group working meeting and announced a major scientific research project - "CR450" high-speed EMU. It is reported that the experimental operating speed of the CR450 EMU will reach 450 kilometers per hour, and the commercial operating speed will reach 400 kilometers per hour, which will make it the fastest high-speed train in the world.
The R&D of the CR450 EMU is the latest achievement of China's high-speed rail technological innovation. In order to achieve this goal, China Railway Group launched the CR450 technology innovation project as early as three years ago, and is committed to developing new products for Fuxing EMUs with higher speed, safer, more environmentally friendly, more energy-saving and more intelligent.
Under the full promotion of China Railway Group, the performance test of key new high-tech components of CR450 was completed in June last year, and the speed of 435 kilometers per hour was recorded in the test operation, which marked an "important milestone" in the development of CR450 and achieved phased results.
In 2024, China Railway Group will complete the manufacture of CR450 prototypes and carry out type tests. It is expected that by 2025, the CR450 EMU will be put into use, injecting new vitality into the development of global railway transportation.
According to a report in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, the successful development of the CR450 EMU is a major breakthrough in China's high-speed rail technology innovation. It only takes 2 to get from Beijing to ShanghaiThe 5-hour program will bring unprecedented convenience to passengers.
The successful development of CR450 EMUs not only demonstrates China's leading position in high-speed rail technology, but also opens a new chapter in the future development of China's railway industry.
