Walk on Two Legs to Challenge the World Best

By sticking to independent innovation and introducing advanced technologies, CSR GROUP carved out a way of development to continuously challenge the world speed!

Reporter: this is the new generation EMU with hourly speed hitting 380km. Its vehicle head resembles a Chinese face full of Chinese culture elements, and its heart, namely, the traction drive and network control system is independently researched and produced by China.

Today, CSR s independently researched 350km/h EMU is the world speediest train in commercial running, and it has run safely about 10 million kilometers, equivalent to 250 circles of earth equators. Its safety also hits the world highest level.

General Manager of CSR GROUP Zhao Xiaogang said: when it was running along Zhengzhou-Xi an High-speed Railway at 350km/h, I walked stably like this.

CSR was mainly engaged in producing old and backward vehicles 10 years ago, and its annual sales revenue stayed below 10 billion yuan, with profit being minus. After transforming development means and adjusting structure, the company found its new growth point.

General Manager of CSR Zhao Xiaogang said: we adjusted structure in light of the market demands so as to achieve the world tiptop products technologies. Since 2004, we ruled out old and second-handed products and backward technologies so as to produce high-speed EMUs, large-power internal combustion and electric locomotives, and high-level metro vehicles.

With the ultimate goal Develop Products with Low Energy Consumption and High Technology , CSR, adopted Exchange Market for Technology strategy and built up its own R & D system.

General Manager of CSR GROUP Zhao Xiaogang said: In 2004 we introduced, studied and assimilated technologies, and then we launched re-innovation in2005. By now, we walk on two legs efficiently and have paved a broad road for the enterprise s independent innovation.

By virtue of high-speed EMUs running along Zhengzhou-Xi an High-speed Railway HSR, Wuhan-Guangzhou HSR, and Beijing-Tianjin Inter-city Railway, high plateau trains running in the Roof of the World , and new-generation metro locomotives running under the city, CSR has become the world first-class rail transit equipments research & production enterprise. So far, in CSR s orders worth 100 billion yuan, 80% of them are associated with its high-tech products, and CSR s annual sales revenue increased five-fold compared to 10 years ago.

Grip Core Technologies

To study and assimilate overseas advanced technologies is the bound trend for a country s development. However, CSR achieved faster growth on the road, and it only spent six years to complete the process that cost developed countries 40 years.

CSR people are generous in investment, and they keep pace with world-advanced enterprises in technical study, assimilation, and re-innovation. CSR people excel at guidance, and they capitalize on open innovation system to gather all quality resources and make breakthrough

CSR vows to stand at the peak of the world, and it grips core technologies. In contemporary China, CSR is right the model.
