High-tech subway train puts rail industry on fast track to the future

A new subway train, which consists of six carriages and features cutting-edge carbon fiber technology, completed its first trial run in Qingdao, Shandong province, on Wednesday.

Dubbed the "subway train of the future," it represents the most advanced development of subway train manufacturing, and is expected to bring brand-new experiences to passengers, according to its developer CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co.

"It will be the trend for future subway trains to become lighter and energy-saving," said Ding Sansan, deputy chief engineer of CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co.
