CRH6?

A new coloured version I think

But i've heard the main model on this line in the future will be a new intercity bullet train first designed for it....

CRRC compared with worldwide business competition

CRRC's overseas business accounts for only 30% of their total businesses.
They's better increase the percentage to at least 50% in the coming 5 years.
But maybe it will even decrease, since there will be several hundred subway/tram lines to open, and hundreds of bullet trains to be purchased at the home market......

@AndrewJin

These adjustable doors are brilliant. They help to improve safety at the stations (even though it's not an issue).

Are there any plans to install or deploy them for other lines?

Until now, only Intercity HSRs have such devices!
On such lines, very few or only one type of trains operate.
Quite impossible for main lines, there are a variety of trains with different door locations.
It is possible only after standardisation finishes, and all old style trains are gradually phased out......
Good news, until now, no tragedy has ever happened because people fall off the platforms of HSR stations!

I guess when you travel in China (you've been to Zhangjiajie right?), you will find on a regular platform, indicators of different colours are on the floor. The radio announcement and LCD screen will tell you to which colour you should line up. Different colour indicates different train.

Lanzhou's airport HSR, has safety doors installed.
Actually, it is an underground HSR station below Lanzhou Airport.

Xining Station (HSR+train)

Qufu East, only HSR

Dunhuang Station, no HSR, no indicators

It's great for passengers to know where to line up.
Saving time!
It's very important for intermediate stations where bullet trains only stop for 1-2 minutes!

DF41 on the train!

That's indeed a bit of confusion that I encountered when I first took HSR in Mainland China. I eventually figured that out. In their first try, even the locals could confuse the coloring scheme, I noticed.

Hello!
This data is for last financial year (14-15) and was published in German News magazine. the same was shared with me by Mr. Peter Christener, who works for Bombardier.
While i donot have access to whole article, the intent was to show Chinese companies have now become global leaders in Electric traction technologies in railways. The same is also evident by the fact that China is today winning more contracts than European companies in new markets (especially in Africa) owing to range of products offered and cost competitiveness.
@AndrewJin @TaiShang @ahojunk Gentlemen, you would want to add on this subject?
