| Recently, Chengdu Railway Administration of Ministry of Railways officially signed a large-power electric locomotive purchase contract worth nearly 8.6 billion yuan with CSR Zhuji in Beijing. In light of the contract, Chengdu Railway Administration will purchase 590 units of electric locomotives from CSR Zhuji, of which, 170 units will be assumed by CSR Ziyang. All locomotives will be delivered within 1 year since the contract signing.
So far, CSR Zhuji has won the ¡°Hexie¡± Type-1 series electric locomotive order for four consecutive times, with total contractual volume hitting 1710 units. Thanks to capacity reconstruction, CSR Zhuji¡¯s capacity in electric locomotive production now hits 800units/year, and it has become the world largest electric locomotive manufacturer. In this order, the six-axle 7200kw large-power AC drive electric locomotive is currently the mainstream type in China railway transportation market. By virtue of more than 50 years of professional experiences in electric locomotive research and production, CSR Zhuji only spent half year to develop the six-axle 7200kw electric locomotive, with localization rate exceeding 92%, which created a new miracle in the world locomotive history. Such achievement was recognized by the Railway Minister Liu Zhijun as ¡°Honor of Chinese Railway, and Honor of Chinese Nation¡±. In 2009 when the six-axle 7200kw electric locomotive rolled off the production line, it grabbed 50% shares in domestic railway market in that year.
CEO and General Manager of CSR Zhuji said: ¡°CSR¡¯s Hexie Type-1 electric locomotives consists of three collections, eight-axle 9600kw, six-axle 9600kw, and six-axle 7200kw. Since being put into running, large-power electric locomotives of the three collections have completed more than 146 million km of safety running distance all told. As the mainstream transportation force of the Datong-Qinhuangdao Line with the world largest transportation capacity, Hexie Type-1 eight-axle 9600kw electric locomotives shoulder more than 55% of annual transportation capacity along the line, and they contributed much to the line¡¯s 340-plus million tons of total transportation capacity. Particularly in 2008 Anti-freezing Disaster Relief, Hexie Type-1 eight-axle 9600kw electric locomotives transported above 5.25 million tons of thermal coal within 15 days, making huge contribution to the Anti-freezing Disaster Relief¡¯s final success¡±.
Through Hexie Type-1 locomotive¡¯s three platforms, CSR Zhuji has fully controlled nine core technologies like vehicle body, bogie, and braking system and 10 supporting technologies like vehicle hook buffer mechanism and pantograph of the world¡¯s most advanced large-power electric locomotive, so that it established integral design technology platform, manufacture technology platform, and product technology platform. By virtue of strong capacity resulting from these platforms, CSR Zhuji, as the rail transit equipment system solution provider focusing on customers¡¯ demands, can customize products for the railway market, according to Xu Zongxiang.
Xu Zongxiang added: ¡°Thanks to four driving factors like the Ministry of Railways¡¯ scientific industry policy, booming market demands, favorable product application, and improvement of the enterprise¡¯s comprehensive strength, CSR Zhuji frequently won orders¡±.
Xu noted that CSR Zhuji would unswervingly persist in the ¡°Introduction, Digestion, Assimilation, and Re-innovation¡± strategy, and constantly promote commercialization of core technologies, industrialization of products, and concentration of industries, so as to make contribution to the railway industry¡¯s leap-forward development.
