January 19, the Chinese Ministry of Railways and the U.S. General Electric Company (GE Company) signed in Washington EMU high-speed railway technology transfer memorandum, the two sides agreed to support China South Locomotive and GE joint venture company in the U.S., will China high-speed rail technology into the United States.
Under the MOU,glue stick signed in the previous high-speed railway project of the United States Memorandum of Understanding on strategic cooperation and GE-China South Locomotive on the establishment of a joint venture in the United States on the basis of the framework agreement, the Chinese Ministry of Railways agreed to the U.S. from China South Locomotive and the transfer of high-speed motor car joint venture group technology, to promote the development of the North American rail passenger market. The joint venture's product range includes not only high-speed EMU, but also medium-speed electric train set, metro, light rail vehicles and DMU. The signing of the memorandum,glue gun the joint venture is expected to become the first U.S. state of Florida and California, two high-speed railway project to provide high-speed rail technology manufacturers. Market analysis, only the South car in the United States as China's EMU project manufacturing companies, relying on the U.S. project to speed up the "going out" pace, its influence is not direct access to the North American market, Pan Am will also be radiation and other areas.
China South Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., has said: "CSR in the EMU, and the field of urban rail transportation equipment, the development and use of rich experience, combined with GE in the Pan-American areas of advanced manufacturing and supply chain management capabilities, and U.S. railway market insights, to look forward to the cooperation. "
China at speeds over 350 km (220 miles) of high-speed rail technology is a world leader. With the total length of 8,000 km of smooth opening and operation of high-speed railway, China has become the world's fastest high-speed rail operators, the longest distance, the most complete national system technology. By 2020, China plans to extend its railway network extending 120,000 km, of which 16,000 km dedicated high-speed railway track. Not long ago, developed by the China South Locomotive grouping CRH380A type 16 EMU in the first section of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail pilot ran out of the 486.1km / h test the world's highest railway operating speed.
It is reported that China South Locomotive and diesel locomotives, GE has conducted fruitful cooperation in the field, so far the Chinese Ministry of Railways to provide the most technologically advanced, energy efficient, low emission internal combustion heavy locomotive. Ministry of Railways has delivered more than 300 locomotives in operation. The establishment of the joint venture will further strengthen the cooperation of both sides, high-speed rail technology to China to overseas strategic importance.
