China CRRC Low Speed CRH(D-series high-speed train)Disclosed

该动车组按照欧洲铁路TSI标准打造，运营时速280公里，最高试验时速308公里，列车设置一等座车2节，二等座车5节，餐车1节，带残疾人卫生间的二等座车1节，定员537人，长度265米。

The Low Speed CRH(D-series high-speed train) is built according to the European Railway TSI standard. It operates at a speed of 280 km/h and has a maximum test speed of 308 km. The train has 2 first-class cars, 5 second-class cars, 1 dining car, and 1 second-class seats with disabled toilets, with a capacity of 537 people and a length of 265 meters.

Any cost savings operating this over other trains in the same speed range. Also which countries does China see using this train. If this train is economically viable (operating at conventional train costs) could it be used on the Rail portion of the Belt and Road; from China to Europe; carrying export products back and forth?

Your question does not makes sense!
Becoz new techs cost more,so we should stay at 100 kmph trains??
This is not for budget limited govs or countries!
I am sure 280 kmph operation speed train cost less than 350 kmph operation speed train！
This is sure!

I think it's tailor made for Europe rail which export to Europe countries.

For the time being, Pakistan is best suited to build high-speed rail lines in Islamabad and Lahore and that it is. High-speed rail is expensive. High-speed and quite expensive.

This product meets the European Railway TSI standard and may be used on the Hungarian-Serbian high-speed rail line.

Compared with China's high-speed rail, the speed of 280 km/h is slow (China Fuxing High-speed Railway, operating speed of 350 km/h, maximum design speed of 400 km/h), but compared with conventional railways, 280 km per hour is very fast.

My question had nothing to do with Pakistan, but rather comparing the cost versus time saved to operate this versus flying. Russia is building up its high speed rail network and these trains moving products through Siberia could make it competitive with air freight for some products. That was my question.

Conventional trains and high speed trains do not have the same costs for the same weight transported. The cost of increased speed is not linear either, for example a 350km/h train would use 2 times the amount of electricity as a 250km/h train.

Conventional trains and high speed trains operate on separate rail lines in China though they are connected. High speed trains can operate on conventional railways but the speed would be limited. Conventional freight trains don't operate on high speed railways due to the excessive wear it would induce upon the track.

High speed trains are not designed to haul heavy freight like shipping containers and would increase risks doing so. China is however working on high speed cargo trains but the containers are more similar to air freight containers.

Even passenger high speed trains can carry light cargo.

Continental South East Asia would be a good market for a freight type high speed train or hybrid. Fresh fruits and sea food can be exported to China's interior without having to use air freight (China currently imports coldwater lobsters from Canada and US through air freight).

Why not? As far as I am concerned, if the Pakistani government has sufficient funds, a high-speed or medium-speed express railway should be established between Islamabad and Lahore.

What I can say is it works fine and well in China.
I do not think it will work for Russia.
Too few population,144.5millions only,not even close to Pakistani population(197 millions）.
If the Pakistani economy develops well, high-speed rail is more suitable for Pakistan than russia: a densely populated area which needs short trip,
Long-distance travel still depends on the plane.

I believe that the Islamabad-Lahore Express Rail Network will definitely be more effective and early than the Indian Railway.

YOU think CHINA of today is coming from nowhere?
and china HSR capacity is made during one year?
