In recent years, China State Railway Group (CR) has been calling for “focusing on advantageous segments, and leveraging idle general train resources to develop tourism special train products”. Based on many years of train modification development and practice experiences, CRRC Chengdu provides users with premium “mobile star hotel” solutions with Ba-Shu cultural characteristics that integrate “food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment”.
The refitted Panda Special Train comprises ten 380V25G carriages with a passenger capacity of 252. It is equipped with green, comfortable and tasteful home décor, constant-temperature and high-efficiency shower systems, and coverage of high speed network media. In the modification of Panda Special Train, more importance is attached to personalized service facilities, such as emergency call button, smart service system, sightseeing table, and video & audio entertainment facilities.
Based on the concept of “multiple destinations, speed and convenience, safety and environmental friendliness”, Panda Special Train is the first tourism product platform in Southwest China that integrates “sightseeing, vocation and study tour”. CRRC Chengdu will continue to improve its product lineup, build a premium brand, and provide CRRC intelligence, CRRC manufacturing and CRRC services for the quality improvement of railway tourism products.
