The flagship 350 km/h EMU boasts a cutting-edge high-speed transmission TCMS design, incorporating advanced intelligent analysis and driving assistance. This sophisticated train uses a comprehensive sensor system to detect vehicle and environmental conditions, enhancing its operational intelligence and safety. The train was successfully deployed on the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway in October 2023 and, as of mid-July this year, has transported over 4 million passengers.
Embracing a Greener Future
Responding to the global push towards zero-carbon mobility, CRRC unveiled eco-friendly rail transit solutions for non-electrified lines. The CINOVA H2 New Energy Intelligent Intercity Train and the 160 km/h Hydrogen Full-Automatic Intelligent Regional Train are powered by hydrogen fuel cells, achieving zero carbon emissions while harnessing renewable energy sources. These trains represent a significant step towards a greener future, demonstrating CRRC’s commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
Transforming Urban Mobility with Intelligent Short-Distance Railcar Technology
CRRC presented an innovative platform for intercity and regional travel, featuring the CINOVA 2.0 New Intelligent Intercity/Regional EMU and the 160 km/h Intelligent Regional Train. CINOVA 2.0 incorporates intelligent driving technology, leading to a remarkable 15%+ improvement in energy efficiency compared to existing trains. The 160 km/h Intelligent Regional Train is designed to redefine urban commuting by providing fast, high-capacity, and bus-like services, making it ideal for transporting travelers quickly and efficiently in central business districts and densely populated metropolitan areas.
Delivering Cost-Effective Urban Rail Transit Solutions
CRRC has developed a diverse portfolio of urban rail transit solutions, including standard metro trains, suspended monorail trains, 100% modern trams, and Autonomous-Rail Rapid Transit (ART) systems. Each solution is meticulously designed to meet varying traffic demands, pushing green urban mobility to new heights. The ART system stands out with its innovative use of rubber wheels and virtual track technology, eliminating the need for traditional tracks and overhead catenaries. This transformative approach ensures seamless integration into modern public transportation networks while minimizing environmental impact.
CRRC’s presence at InnoTrans 2024 underscored its commitment to developing cutting-edge rail solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also environmentally responsible. The company’s comprehensive range of innovative products is poised to shape the future of passenger transportation, driving us towards a more sustainable and efficient world.
