Exported to Europe in the stainless steel subway

On June 9th, after a series of appearance protection measures such as film packaging, three super-large flatbed trucks loaded with the first stainless steel subway Ankara metro vehicles exported from Europe (three sections) slowly pulled out of China South Locomotive (601766) Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive. Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as CSR Zhuzhou Machinery Co., Ltd.) is located at the main entrance and departs for Shanghai Port. It will cross the South China Sea through the seagoing wheel and cross the Indian Ocean and is expected to arrive in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, in mid-July.

According to Liu Youmei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the expert committee of CSR Zhuzhou Machinery Co., Ltd., Europe, as the birthplace of the world's rail transit, has stricter requirements for various technical indicators of vehicles. In order to meet the needs of customers, these subway vehicles are tailor-made for the Turkish capital Ankara according to European standards.

It adopts an environment-friendly stainless steel body that adapts to European climate characteristics and is resistant to corrosion, and it is more resistant to high temperatures and strength. Because the car body does not need to be coated, the pollution of the environment caused by the use of paint is eliminated, and the maintenance cost of the paint in the future is saved. Because of the lightweight design, the entire train formation can save about 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electric energy per year compared to the same type of subway vehicles.

The relevant parameters show that the stainless steel subway in Ankara has a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour and the maximum capacity of the three sections is 1,008 passengers. The width of the body design of this type of subway car is 3.12 meters, and the clearance height of the passenger room interior is 2.2 meters, which exceeds the international standard size of the A-type subway, and is more suitable for Europeans with higher stature.

The sleek design of the front of the car is inspired by the Turkish national treasure Turkish cat, which is very friendly and lively. The color of the vehicle that represents the Turkish flag is red, plus the silver-gray hood color, with a rich sense of color, especially high-end. The interior of the vehicle adopts the blue color of Ankara city emblem, which increases the sense of space and transparency of the interior of the passenger compartment, and is fresh and elegant. The unique angling design of the interior styling and the armrest bar and seat end plate is inspired by the traditional geometric pattern called Selcuk, which the Turkish people love to see.

By then, this metro vehicle with the features of fashion, energy saving, environmental protection and humanized design will become a high-end Chinese-made landscape in Europe.

China's rail transit equipment has entered the European market since 2009. At the end of October of the same year, CSR Zhuzhou Motor Corporation received orders for 350 million yuan from Turkey to provide high-quality articulated light rails for Izmir City’s No. 2 line. The vehicle is currently fully operational.

In April of this year, CSR ZTLC and Turkey carried out a strong alliance to set up a joint venture company in Ankara, mainly engaged in the manufacture of rail vehicles, electric locomotives, EMUs, and high-speed trains and rail vehicles; providing after-sales service for rail vehicle products , maintenance, repair services, and overhaul services; business operations in the company's business scope, such as import and export and international trade.
