The CRH1 EMU is a Chinese high-speed train based on Bombardier technology and built by a Chinese-Canadian joint venture between Bombardier and Sifang at Bombardier Sifang Power Transportation factory in Qingdao, Shandong Province, People's Republic of China. At the same time as ordering the Shinkansen-based CRH2 and the Pendolino-based CRH5, the Chinese Ministry of Railways ordered 20 CRH1A trainsets in June 2007 and then ordered an additional 20 CRH1A trains, each with 8 cars that have total standard capacity of 670 people. The total value of the order is €560 million.^[1] In July 2010, a further 40 CRH1A eight-car trains were ordered.^[2]

Most CRH1 trains were allocated to Guangshen Railway for replacing all locomotive-hauled trains between Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong province. Some are also used on the line Shanghai – Nanjing.

Design

CRH1A

CRH1A and CRH1B are based on Bombardier's Regina family.^[3] The train was designed by Sifang and Bombardier jointly in Västerås, Sweden and originally named C2008.^[1]^[3]

Each CRH1A set consists of 8 cars, the first batch (CRH₁-001A~CRH₁-040A)including 2 first class coaches (ZY), 5 second class coaches (ZE) and 1 second class coach/dining car (ZEC).the second batch (CRH₁-081A~CRH₁-120A) including 2 first class coaches (ZY), 1 first class/second class coaches (ZYE), 4 second class coaches (ZE) and 1 second class coach/dining car (ZEC). The potential maximum speed of CRH1A is 250 km/h (155 mph), but in fact the maximum speed of the initial 40 sets in operation is always restricted by the software of computer control system, so the maximum speed in service is 220 km/h (137 mph).

The first units （CRH₁-001A） were delivered on August 30, 2006,^[4]the CRH1A sets started service from February 1, 2007 at the Guangzhou -Shenzhen Railway.

In July 2010, the Chinese MOR ordered additional 40 sets of CRH1A, The designed top operating speed increased to 250 km/h, On September 2010, during test run at Qinshen PDL, top speed of CRH₁-081A reach 278 km/h (173 mph).,^[5]

CRH1B

On October 31, 2007, the Chinese MOR ordered 20 sets of CRH1B trains (CRH₁-041B～CRH₁-060B). CRH1B is a fleet-extended CRH1A. Each CRH1B consists of 16 cars, including 3 first class coaches (ZY), 12 second class coaches (ZE) and 1 dining car (CA). CRH1B, however, have not such restriction on the operational speed, the maximum speed is still 250 km/h (155 mph).CRH1B first come into commercial use on April, 2009, between Shanghai-Nanjing & Shanghai-Hangzhou.

On July 23, 2011, CRH1-046B was hit on ZY104600 car by CRH2-139E in Yongtaiwen PDL accident.

CRH1E

Main article: Bombardier Zefiro

On October 31, 2007, the Chinese MOR ordered 20 sets of CRH1E trains (CRH₁-061E～CRH₁-080E).The CRH1E is the first high-speed 16-car sleeper train (10M6T) in the world which is based on Bombardier's ZEFIRO 250 km/h (155 mph) design. The train was designed by Bombardier and Zagato. Each train set consists of 1 luxury sleeper (WG), 12 soft sleepers (WR), 2 second class coaches (ZE) and 1 dining car (CA).the first CRH1E trainset delivered at October 2009,first come into service on November 4, 2009 between Beijing-Shanghai.

CRH380D/DL

Main article: Bombardier Zefiro

The CRH380D/DL is also derived from the Bombardier Zefiro family (Zefiro 380) of very high speed EMU's and are not direct derivatives of the Regina type trains from which the CRH1A and CRH1B classes are derived.^[6] Top speed is advertised at 380 km/h (236 mph). The 8-car version is designated CRH380D, series number CRH_380D-6601 ～ CRH_380D-6620. while the 16-car version is designated CRH380DL, series number CRH_380D-6621L ～ CRH_380D-6680L.
