On September 6, the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) came to a successful conclusion. The friendship and cooperation between China and Africa have taken a new step in resonating with the theme of "Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a Community with a Shared Future".
CRRC Ziyang Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in China's diesel power equipment export and a practitioner of friendship and cooperation between China and Africa. Since 2001, it has supplied more than 200 locomotives and more than 10 DMUs to nearly 20 African countries, becoming a rail transit equipment enterprise that exports diesel locomotives to Africa with the widest coverage, the largest number of products and the most complete varieties.
High-quality rail transit equipment provides strong power for Africa.
Recently,the Company received a letter of thanks from the user in Sierra Leone, in which it highly praised the excellent performance of the DF8BJ narrow-gauge AC drive diesel locomotive "made by CRRC Ziyang", helping the monthly traffic volume of Sierra Leone iron ore to exceed 1 million tons and setting new records for many times.
This is an epitome of CRRC Ziyang's continuous value creation for African users. At the same time, the main-line freight diesel locomotives tailored by the Company for Congo (DRC) have been highly praised by users for the advanced AC drive technology, strong traction and high efficiency.
From classic hydraulic transmission locomotive to high-end AC transmission locomotive, from shunting locomotive to heavy-duty mainline locomotive, and from efficient freight locomotive to comfortable passenger DMUs, the Company has continuously expanded its product line and deepened technological innovation to fully meet the diversified needs of African railway rail transit and provide strong impetus for economic development in African countries.
"Product + service": "two-way efforts" for in-depth cooperation.
On September 5, it was sunny in Gabon, Africa. Next to a diesel locomotive, Louvet and his team were using the exquisite skills learned at the Company to maintain the diesel locomotive, which is a vivid practice of the "product + service" mode in Gabon.
Since 2011, Gabon users have established a deep cooperative relationship with the Company. They have purchased locomotives for five times and become "loyal fans" of CRRC Ziyang.
In 2022, the "Product + Service" order reached by both parties marks a new stage of cooperation. The Company not only delivers locomotive products with high standards, but also takes it as its own responsibility to promote the improvement of local technical capabilities. Through various means such as technical training and personnel cultivation, it has cultivated a large number of local technical talents for Gabon.
Looking into the future, CRRC Ziyang will join hands with African partners to write a new chapter of cooperation between China and Africa in more determined steps and more pragmatic actions.
