CSR Qishuyan sells first batch of Harmony axle box bodies to the US

CSR Qishuyan Locomotive Co., Ltd. deepened the cooperation with GE and shored up the R & D and manufacturing platform through introduction, assimilation and innovation. The company boasts high-quality and high-yield Harmony axle box bodies, which meet the need for manufacturing Harmony N5 locomotives, and won an order from GE. The first batch of 100 Harmony axle box bodies has been sold to the US.

Harmony axle box body is critical to the traveling mechanism of locomotives. Due to high requirements for surface quality, it is more complex than common castings in modeling, cleaning and machining. For this reason, after undertaking the fitting design and manufacture, the company established a project team, and wound up model design, calibration and trial manufacture in two months. Harmony N5 axle box body won an order from GE to further promote the exports of the company s major parts.

According to the overall plan of introducing advanced technologies, conducting joint design and manufacture, and building Chinese brands mapped out by the State Council, organized and coordinated by the Ministry of Railways, in October 2008, Qishuyan and GE joined hands to develop and manufacture China s highest-power AC diesel locomotive.

In recent years, through developing and manufacturing Harmony V locomotives, Qishuyan has spared no efforts to promote introduction, assimilation and innovation, and made great progress in the three platforms -locomotive design technology platform, manufacturing technology platform and product technology platform, laying a solid foundation for building a world first-class enterprise .
