The company has established National Enterprise Technology Center, National Post-doctoral Scientific Research Workstation, Nationally-recognized Measuring and Testing Lab, Enterprise Academician Workstation, Engineering Research Center in Jiangsu Province, and has leading design and manufacturing capacity of diesel locomotive, testing and verification capacity and the platform for developing diesel engine in the country as well as mature experience and R&D strength of developing diesel locomotive and engine. In recent years, to meet the needs of railway market, we have developed and manufactured a wide range of representative railway products including DF8 locomotive, DF9 locomotive, DF11 locomotive, DF8B heavy-load freight locomotive, “New Dawn” Quasi-high speed DMU, GKD2 locomotive, DF11Z special locomotive, “Xueyushenzhou” locomotive, GK2C locomotive, DF11G Quasi-high speed passenger locomotive, plateau locomotive, DF8CJ AC transmission freight diesel locomotive, “ Harmony Great Wall” DMU, HXN5 high power AC transmission diesel locomotive, HXN5B AC transmission shunting locomotive, permanent magnet hybrid power shunting locomotive, FX type AC transmission freight diesel locomotive, etc. These railway products play an important role in providing services for China railway, local railway and industrial and mining enterprises. Among these locomotives, DF11 locomotive is developed and manufactured for railway speed-up for the first time, which marks the beginning of China railway speed-up; HXN5 high power AC transmission diesel locomotive manufactured cooperatively with GE Company has become a major freight locomotive running on the mainline of Chinese railway; self-developed HXN5B shunting locomotive with obvious advantages in all technical indexes has gained recognition from customers.
The company steps up “go global” strategy and makes every effort to explore the international market. So far, many locomotives and components have been exported and sold to Australia, Argentina, Venezuela, Kenya, Jamaica, Tanzam, Nigeria, Guinea, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Thailand, Cambodia and so on.
