Producing IGBT is a very delicate process, check 42:30China exports eight-inch chips to India

CHANGSHA, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- China's leading locomotive maker, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Co. Ltd., has made the country's first bulk export of eight-inch chips to India.
The company, based in Zhuzhou City in central China's Hunan Province, said on Tuesday that it exported eight-inch insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) chips that will be used for upgrading the transformers of 100 locomotives in India to make the electric trains more energy-efficient.
The China-made chips are currently used on the 7,200-kilowatt electric locomotives that power China's high-speed trains.
CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Co. Ltd. built the world's second eight-inch chip production line in 2014, which has reached annual output of 120,000 chips and 1 million IGBT modules.
The IGBT chip is a key technology of modern electric appliances. It can be used in everything from high-speed rail to the aerospace and aviation industries.
The Chinese locomotive maker expects the chips to have huge export potential.
Indeed is!Producing IGBT is a very delicate process
.In addition, the consortium also features Downer Group as delivery and maintenance lead, as well as CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles being in charge of design and technology.
.As part of Evolution Rail consortium, Plenary Group will deliver and maintain 65 new high-capacity trains over the next 35 years under the project.
The trains will be built in Victoria over the next six years. The project also includes construction of new maintenance facilities in Pakenham East and Calder Park.
Make in Australia!.
Good choice, CRRC and its subsidiaries are the best in the world when it comes to rail technology. The CRRC group have come a long way in the last ten years.
.
Hmmm, building 65 new trains over the next six years. That is 10 new trains a year, which is a snail pace compared to what is happening in China.
Those local workers are simply incompetent.According to the agreement, the first train is expected to be in testing by November 2018, ready to enter service in mid-2019. All 65 metro trains will be ready in 2026.
