A new model of high-speed trains designed for intercity transportation was put into operation on Tuesday in Central China's Hunan province.

With a design speed of 160 kph, the CJ6 trains were jointly developed by an intercity railway company in Hunan and CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co Ltd.

The new trains are versatile, as they can run in four-car formations during non-rush hours and eight or 16-car formations during rush hours, said Zhou Qinghe, chairman of CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive.

Using lightweight materials and equipped with a braking system powered by recycled energy, the new model is also energy-conserving and environmentally friendly, according to Zhou.
