China South Locomotive Receives Over 1.5 Billion Orders for Shenzhen Metro

The green and intelligent metro vehicles representing the current and future development direction of the industry have become the new darling of the market. The high-end products of CSR ZTLC have been highly recognized by Shenzhen customers. On December 28th, in the signing hall of Shenzhen Metro Tower festive atmosphere, the directors of Shenzhen Metro Group Lin Maode and Zhou Cinghe, executive director and general manager of CSR Zhuzhou Motor Company, signed the purchase and sales contract for the 1.526 billion yuan of type A metro vehicles purchased on the Shenzhen Metro Line 1. This is the fourth cooperation between the two sides in five years. It is understood that this batch of subway orders will be delivered to the first column by the end of June 2014, and will be fully delivered by 2016.

Recalling the cooperation with the Shenzhen Metro, according to Lei Zhangwen, an engineer of CSR ZLC, the key words of the first project (vehicles for the continued construction of the Shenzhen Metro Line 1) are self-industrialization, which has created the same industry in China. The second key item of the Shenzhen Metro Line 5 is the localization of core components, which for the first time broke the monopoly of traction drive and network control in the high-end A-type subway core components. The third project, cooperation in the maintenance of the Shenzhen Metro project, created a precedent for the concept of green and smart in the field of rail transit in China.

The reporter learned that since CSR Zhuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Metro began their first cooperation in July 2007, they have provided a total of 336 subway vehicles to Shenzhen Metro. Since the first line was put into operation on August 19, 2009, it has so far operated a total of 6.7 million kilometers, with a total safety passenger capacity of 4 billion people. Since the fifth line was put into operation on June 22, 2011, a total of 5.8 million kilometers have been operated so far, with a total safe passenger capacity of 2 billion passengers. The carrying capacity of the two lines is equivalent to moving the total population of the Earth once. Among them, these high-end A-type subway vehicles safely completed the task of ensuring the travel of the 26th World University Games in Shenzhen, and carried more than 11 million passengers safely.

Lei Zhangwen disclosed to the outside world that the Shenzhen Metro order signed this time will be built entirely in accordance with the concept of green and smart.

According to the data provided by China CSR Zhuji Motor Co., the vehicles have the advantages of “green, smart”, “high autonomy rate” and “strong vehicle compatibility”.

In addition to the energy-saving electric brake technology, the vehicle uses a patented LED centralized power supply patented technology from CSR Zhuzhou Motor Co., Ltd., which saves more than 30% energy compared to conventional lighting. The use of smart air-conditioning technology in the car, the vehicle can automatically adjust the air-conditioner cold air stalls according to the number of passengers, achieve a lot of people hair, hair blowing, and achieve energy-saving goals.

The overall autonomy rate of this type of vehicle exceeds 90%. The frequency conversion traction drive system independently developed by China South Locomotive was adopted. When the vehicle brakes, the most advanced electric brake technology can convert the motor on the vehicle into a generator and send the electricity back to the power grid.

In order to further reduce noise in the vehicle, the vehicle is also paved with a layer of sound-absorbing and sound-absorbing aluminum honeycomb flooring on the floor. Silencers are used on the wheels to significantly reduce vehicle operating noise. At the same time, soundproof cotton and aluminum honeycomb insulation panels are used on all four sides of the vehicle. After these vibration damping and sound insulation measures, vehicle noise and vibration levels will reach the international advanced level.

The design of the additional vehicles for the Shenzhen No. 1 Line took into account factors such as existing vehicle lines, equipment, and signals, and is fully compatible with the existing equipment of Line 1 and will be compatible with the Shenzhen Line 1, 2, and 5 in the future. Vehicle compatibility will be It is the strongest car in the industry.

Liu Youmei, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that for a number of years, CSR Zhuzhou Machinery Co., Ltd., under the strong support of the Shenzhen Metro Group, has moved from the first industrialization of the entire vehicle to the independent industrialization of core components, and to the transformation and upgrading of green and smart. The continuous advancement of technological progress in this area has formed a good path for the integration of production, learning, research and application. This has set a good example for the overall transformation and upgrading of China's high-end major equipment manufacturing industry.

According to this reporter’s inventory, in the past three years, CSR Zhuzhou Machinery Co., Ltd. has adhered to the concept of green and smart, coupled with its flexible business model (output of goods + 4S shop service), which is a comparative advantage for China’s entry into the development of urban rail vehicles. In the evening, a company has become the leader in independent innovation in the high-end A-type metro field in the same industry in China. Its urban rail vehicle products and technology have firstly achieved the export to the European market, and have been recognized by Turkish customers and successively acquired Izmir light rail. Orders, Ankara metro vehicles (product + technical output) project contract.
