CSR Zhuzhou Light Rail Train First Exported to Europe

The high-end light rail train of CSR Zhuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. Changsha, People's Daily, August 11th (Reporter Cao Changliang Zhanye) On the 10th, the first high-end light rail trains exported to Europe successfully went offline at CSR Zhuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. and will soon play for Izumi, Turkey. City, CSR Zhuzhou International Business has achieved major results.

CSR division general manager Xu Zongxiang told reporters: “It is not easy to enter Europe with the highest global rail traffic barrier, which indicates that China’s rail transportation equipment technology innovation capability has been recognized by the world’s high-end market.”

According to reports, Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey. The light rail runs through densely populated areas with steep slopes and a radius of only 30 meters at the minimum turning point. Together with Turkey’s use of European technical standards, it requires high safety and comfort of trains. . "The rail transit market has always been monopolized by international companies such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea."

The breakthrough of CSR Zhuzhou Machinery Co., Ltd. was mainly attributed to its personalized system design and mature solutions approved by the International Railway Federation IRIS.

According to reports, the train has a top speed of 80 km/h. Each vehicle has its own operating power. It can be freely combined according to the passenger flow at any time during the day and night. The independently-developed articulated bogie enables the train to swing freely and smoothly; On a steep slope, the magnets of the train's "legs" can be attracted to the track and quickly braked. These designs greatly improve the train's adaptability and safety and stability. After the professional test, the indicators including the derailment coefficient, etc. are two levels higher than the international same-type vehicles.

In terms of product quality, tens of thousands of parts in the car are certified by European standards, and the interior materials comply with the highest BS6853 environmental standards in the world. The vehicle passed 5000 durability tests, 1,000 door-to-door switching tests, and 12400 cables were checked one by one. Nouka, Turkey’s supervisory engineer stationed in China, said that he witnessed the entire manufacturing process of the vehicle and expressed his satisfaction with each manufacturing link and overall quality of the train.

It is reported that in the next two years, 30 such locomotives will be put into the rail transit in Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey. Fu Jianguo, vice president of China South Locomotive Group, said that in the next step, the company will use the Turkish light rail project as a stepping stone to open up the European market and make every effort to create an “international CSR”.
