The new train is 13% lighter than traditional steel or aluminium metro trains, making it the company's lightest and most energy-efficient to-date and the first of its kind in China. The new vehicle also has the future in mind with a range of "intelligent" design features including "magic windows' and touch-screen enabled mirrors for a digital age of passenger travel.
Sun Yongcai, President of CRRC, said "Rail transit equipment is on the cusp of a revolution. The acceptance and introduction of carbon fiber materials have allowed for lighter, more energy-efficient trains. With that now comes the continual introduction of more intelligent services aimed at improving the maintenance, operations, and passenger experience.
