China will export high-speed train technology that usually runs at 160 km/h to Pakistan. The first batch of 46 train carriages has been loaded and will be shipped on Nov. 3, state broadcaster CCTV revealed.
China will export high-speed train technology that usually runs at 160 km/h to Pakistan. The first batch of 46 train carriages has been loaded and will be shipped on Nov. 3, state broadcaster CCTV revealed.
Parts for another 184 carriages will be delivered to Pakistan to assemble, the report said, adding this is the first time China has exported the technology.
China and Pakistan should move forward more effectively with the construction of their economic corridor, as well as accelerate the construction of infrastructure for the Gwadar Sea Port, the state media reported.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Xi Jinping met earlier today and agreed to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The two leaders met at the People’s Great Hall of China and talked about broad-based cooperation in the economy and investment besides exchanging views on regional and global developments.
Shehbaz and Xi also discussed the need to further promote the ‘all-weather strategic cooperation partnership’ between the two nations.
PM Shehbaz is expected to spend a busy day in Beijing today. He will meet Premier Li Keqiang and is likely to meet with Chinese investors and Pakistani businessmen.
The Pakistani premier landed in Beijing on Tuesday on a two-day official visit to meet Chinese leadership and review the “all-weather strategic cooperation partnership” and discuss regional and global developments.
On his arrival at the Beijing airport, the senior Chinese officials warmly received the prime minister who was heading a high-level delegation.
The premier is among the first leaders to visit China following the historic 20th National Congress of the Communist Party (CPC) of China that elected Xi Jinping as general secretary of the party.
High-speed rail is a type of passenger rail transport that operates significantly faster than the normal speed of rail traffic. There is no fixed definition of high speed train technology. It can be loosely defined as trains operating at speeds of at least 125 mph, with the fastest modern trains reaching speeds of about 220 mph. HSR is also defined by dedicated tracks and separated grade crossings, which dramatically reduce delays.
High-speed trains form the core of high-speed railway systems, which are a means of transport directly serving passengers. In order to achieve stable and safe operation quality at high speeds, the train system combines high-speed wheel-rail technology, high-efficiency traction technology, and high-reliability brake technology.
The operation of high-speed trains is influenced by the track line, catenary, and other fixed facilities while it is controlled and restricted by the traction power supply and train running control system; finally, it is limited by air flow and noise. Thus, a complex coupling system called dynamics of coupled systems in high-speed trains (DCSHT) was implemented.
