The China Standardized EMU (simplified Chinese: 中国标准动车组; traditional Chinese: 中國標準動車組; pinyin: Zhōngguó Biāozhǔn Dòngchē Zǔ) is an electric multiple unit high-speed train developed by China Railway Corporation, which owns the independent intellectual property rights. It designates Fuxing Hao (simplified Chinese: 复兴号; traditional Chinese: 復興號; pinyin: Fùxīng Hào; literally: "Rejuvenation"),^[4]^[5] nicknamed "Blue/Red Dolphin" (CR400AF) and "Golden Phoenix" (CR400BF).^[2] The development started in 2012, and the plan design was finished in September 2014. The EMU was rolled off the production line on 30 June 2015.^[6]^[7]

History

CRH-0207 testing in the National Railway Test Center, Beijing

Development

Started in 2012, CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles (now CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles), under the guidance of China Railway Corporation, with the collection of enterprises, universities, and research institutes, carried out the development of China Standardized EMU. In December 2013, CRRC Changchun completed developing the general technical conditions for EMUs, and completed the plan design in September 2014.^[1]^[8] The EMU was rolled off the production line on 30 June 2015.^[6]

Test

According to the arrangement for the China Standardized EMU research and development work, the EMUs will receive 600,000-km experimental verification and optimization.^[8] They started to experimental work at National Railway Test Center of China Academy of Railway in Beijing after they rolled off, and they were tested at up to 160 km/h.^[9]^[3]

On November 18, 2015, the China Standardized EMU hit a speed of 385 km/h and passed the high speed test on Datong–Xi'an Passenger Railway. The EMU was tested under complicated conditions, including on bridges, in tunnels, and on slopes and turns.^[7]^[10]

On July 15, 2016, the two China Standardized EMUs in opposite directions passed each other at 420 km/h (relative speed to one another of 840 km/h) during test runs on Zhengzhou–Xuzhou High-Speed Railway.^[2]^[3]

Commercialization

China Standardized EMU begin its operation on Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway since 28th June, 2016. Train G155 by Shanghai-based CR400BF from Beijing South Railway Station arrives at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station

On August 15, 2016, the China Standardized EMU has started operation on Harbin–Dalian High-Speed Railway. The train was ran as Train No. G8041 departed from Dalian North Railway Station to Shenyang Railway Station.^[3]^[11]

From the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017, several subsidiaries of CRRC gained licences from the National Railway Administration to produce the rolling stocks.^[12]^[13]^[14]

The China Standardized EMU started its experimental long haul service on Beijing–Hong Kong High-Speed Railway on February 25, 2017.

Designation

CR400AF-2001 departing Beijing South Railway Station as G123.

Unlike the previous rolling stocks, the vehicles of the newly minted EMU do not bear the marks of "和谐号" (but CRH-0305 was an exception), on 25 June 2017, their designation "Fuxing Hao (Rejuvenation)" was published.^[4]

On 26 June 2017, the CR400AF departed from the Beijing South Railway Station, traveling toward Shanghai, while the CR400BF also left Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station bound for Beijing at the same time. It marks the China Standardized EMU started operation formally, being borne Rejuvenation.^[15]

Specifications and technical features

Double heading between Sifang-built CR400AF-0207 and Changchun-built CR400BF-0503

The China Standardized EMU is 209m long, 3360mm wide and 4060mm high. It has an axleload of less than 17 tonnes. The train can carry 556 passengers, with 10 in business class, 28 in first class, and 518 in second class.^[3] The train also reduces energy consumption, and adopts a standard parts design. It also has reinforced safety features compared with other EMUs.^[11]

The EMU's spacing of seat is larger than other EMUs, which the second class is 1020mm, and the first class is 1160mm. It also provides Wi-Fi access.^[1]
