A short message from CRRC Corporation Ltd. click here
One high-speed EMUs with more than 500,000 parts and components requiring more than 360 processes is deemed a huge project. Do you know what the last process is before a high-speed train leaves the factory?
In #CRRC Sifang, there’s a circular test line measuring 3.69 kilometers. It doesn’t matter if it’s a high-speed rail train or an urban rail subway, each car must undergo a “physical examination” and have a trial run on this test line before delivery. In this final process, the staff have to perform thousands of tests on the train to ensure than it meets performance standards.
