MTR CSR Sifang EMU for Express Rail Link (MTR CSR Sifang EMU (XRL), also known as MTR CRH380A) is a train set purchase by MTR; this EMU will be used to run on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. The train was manufactured by CSR Corporation Limited-Sifang.^[1]^[2]

The 9 sets of 8-car trains will base on CRH380A high-speed EMU technology platform, to maintain its security, reliability, economy, comfort and other technical features, and further enhance the performance of collision, fire, electromagnetic compatibility.^[3]

Technical features

Further improve on collision and fire resistance as well as electromagnetic compatibility and other properties.
Improved low-resistance shape.
In order to solve the problem that the colouring paint between different materials of the car heads (aluminum and stainless steel for car body, whereas fiberglass for head-tip) peeling off easily by thermal expansion, an extra washer widen several millimetres is installed between 2 sections, comparing with the original design, to separate the sections of those materials for respective colouring. This makes the trains have 2 rings set up in the front, which is 1 more than that of the original design.
The optimization of the bogie design and improvement of the interior structure.
High-strength air tightness: to further enhance the airtight performance, the fully sealed pressurization of differential pressure control mode is adopted. The pressure change does not exceed 0.2-kilopascal [kPa] (0.029 psi) per second.
Improved bogie.
Noise control: Using a variety of new noise absorption materials and noise barrier technology, EMU speed of 350 km/h inside noise keep in 67–69 db level.
The axle load still maintained at a level of 15 tonnes (14.8 long tons; 16.5 short tons), under vehicle weight gained by enhancing traction power, structural quality and noise reduction level.
High-efficiency regenerative braking.
Ergonomic passenger interface.
Label text (including fleet number and seat class name) on car body is painted with MTR typefaces, including MTR Song (港鐵宋) for Chinese characters and Myriad MM for alphanumeric characters.

Classes

The trains will provide two classes of seats, Standard Class and First Class.^[4]

The numbering system of the trains and the cars is according to that of China Railways CRH380A EMU in People's Republic of China.
