CHANGSHA, June 13 (Xinhua) -- A new generation domestic medium-low-speed magnetic levitation (maglev) train rolled off the production line Wednesday in the central province of Hunan.
The train can run up to 160 km per hour, compared with the first generation's top speed of 100 km per hour, said Tong Laisheng, head of the maglev research institute of the CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd., the developer.
It also has a 30-percent increase in traction efficiency and can carry up to 500 passengers with three carriages, Tong said.
China's first medium-low-speed maglev rail line was put into commercial operation in May 2016 in Changsha, capital of Hunan. The trains have run over 1.7 million km and carried nearly 6 million passengers.
The new model is suitable for operation between central and satellite cities while the old one is suitable for operation within a city.
CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive is also developing a more advanced maglev model with a top speed of 200 km per hour.

Xinhua | Updated: 2018-07-03 21:32
CHANGCHUN -- CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles is expected to deliver the first of its new generation magnetic-levitation train to its customer in June 2019.
The new middle-to-low-speed maglev train can run at a speed of up to 120 km per hour, according to the CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles. The new generation train also has better shock and sound proofing capabilities.
The company has recently won a bid for a 38-km maglev line in the city of Qingyuan in south China's Guangdong Province, agreeing to provide the line its new maglev trains.
With a lower cost and shorter construction period, the middle-to-low-speed maglev system is appropriate for city commutes, as well as travel to nearby cities and tourist destinations.
CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles is also a producer of high-speed maglev trains. Its two high-speed maglev trains with a top speed of 500 km per hour now run on the world's first commercial maglev line in Shanghai.

Shenzhen plans to have 33 metro lines by 2035
Source: Xinhua| 2018-08-28 20:50:38|Editor: mmm
SHENZHEN, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- The southeastern Chinese metropolis of Shenzhen plans to build more metro lines in the coming 17 years in a bid to improve traffic within the city and boost links with nearby cities.
Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong, plans to have 33 metro lines in operation with a total length of 1,335 km in 2035, according to Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd., the city's dominant metro operator.
The city now has eight metro lines in operation with a total length of around 286 km. Several more lines with a length of 273 km are under construction.
Like Shenzhen, most major cities across China have ambitious plans for metro line construction as they seek to use an expanded metro system to ease traffic congestion and reduce car use to aid the fight against air pollution.

China develops carbon fiber light rail train
Source: Xinhua| 2018-09-08 00:06:53|Editor: Mu Xuequan
CHANGCHUN, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- China's leading train maker on Friday released its new-generation carbon-fiber light rail train at an exhibition held in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin Province.
The body of the train is made of carbon fiber composite and weighs 30 percent less than those made of stainless steel, making it more energy-efficient, according to its manufacturer CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co. Ltd.
The material also provides better thermal and sound insulation performance than traditional metal, which makes the new train less noisy during operation, according to the company.
The train is designed to travel at 80 km per hour and can carry up to 368 passengers. It is equipped with a super-capacitor which can power it to run 10 km with a two-minute charge.
CRRC Changchun is a major train maker in China with more than 18,000 employees producing over 8,000 trains each year.
