CRRC's 'intelligent' train on track for 2022

CRRC Corp Ltd, one of the world's largest rail vehicle manufacturers, is expected to roll out an "intelligent" train during the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, as the company aims to ascend the smart transportation hierarchy in three to five years.

"The prototype train is 'smart' in all fields, from technology and design to automation management," Liu Hualong, chairman of CRRC, said at a panel discussion during the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2018 on Monday.

Its smart features and energy-saving capabilities will outperform the Fuxing Bullet Train, according to the company, which shipped metro trains for the Rio Olympics in Brazil and operated the system for the duration of the 2016 Games.
