Fuxing trains: A Model of Indigenous Innovation
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi Jinping has repeatedly praised Fuxing trains, noting that “high-speed EMUs are a shining symbol of China,” “Fuxing trains traverse the vast land of our motherland,” “The Fuxing high-speed train represents a pivotal milestone in China’s transition from catching up to leading the world in high-speed rail,” “China’s high-speed rail is a successful example of indigenous innovation” and “a new international benchmark.”
As the provider of China’s core high-speed rail technology, CRRC has placed technological innovation at the heart of its corporate strategy—advancing core technologies and developing flagship products. The Fuxing high-speed EMU received the National Special Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress. Internationally, CRRC has become a major contributor to global rail innovation, developing or contributing to more than 110 international standards. The Jakarta–Bandung High-Speed Railway, the China–Laos high-speed railway, and the Mombasa–Nairobi Railway have become landmark Belt and Road initiative projects, and further strengthened CRRC’s global brand presence.
