CRRC Qingdao Sifang
CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. () is a Chinese rolling stock manufacturer based in Qingdao, Shandong province. Founded in 1900 during the Kiautschou Bay concession, German occupation, Qingdao Sifang is one of the oldest rolling stock manufacturers in China. History Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China Era Founding of the Syfang General Repair Works Following the Juye Incident, the German Empire, German army landed at Tsingtao in 1897. In 1898, the Qing dynasty, Qing government signed the Kiautschou Bay concession, Jiao'ao Concession Treaty with Germany, which made Tsingtao a German colony. This treaty also granted the German government the right to build the Jiaoji Railway and develop the mineral deposits along the route. Kaiser Wilhelm II was determined to make Tsingtao a "model colony" and a bridgehead for the German Army (German Empire), German army in the Far East. As a result, German authorities built a number of factories in Tsingtao between 1900 and 1910. In October 190 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Permanent-magnet Synchronous Motor
A synchronous electric motor is an AC motor, AC electric motor in which, at steady state, the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the utility frequency, frequency of the supply current; the rotation period is exactly equal to an integer number of alternating current, AC cycles. Synchronous motors use electromagnets as the stator of the motor which create a rotating magnetic field, magnetic field that rotates in time with the oscillations of the current. The rotor (electric), rotor with permanent magnets or electromagnets turns in step with the stator field at the same rate and as a result, provides the second synchronized rotating magnet field. Brushless wound-rotor doubly fed electric machine, Doubly fed synchronous motors use independently-excited multiphase AC electromagnets for both rotor and stator. Synchronous and induction motors are the most widely used AC motors. Synchronous motors rotate at a rate locked to the line frequency since they do not rely on induction ...

Electric Multiple Units Of China
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of either a positive or negative electric charge produces an electric field. The motion of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. In most applications, Coulomb's law determines the force acting on an electric charge. Electric potential is the work done to move an electric charge from one point to another within an electric field, typically measured in volts. Electricity plays a central role in many modern technologies, serving in electric power where electric current is used to energise equipment, and in electronics dealing with electrical c ...

E10 Series Shinkansen
The E10 series () is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train type on order by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) for use on services. It will also be used on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor in India. Overview Details of the new trains on order were announced by JR East on 4 March 2025. Scheduled for an introduction into service on the in fiscal 2030, the trains are planned to replace the E2 and E5 series fleets. The safety technology incorporated in the trains will be derived from the experimental ALFA-X train. To protect against earthquake damage, L-shaped guides are installed on the cars to prevent derailment, dampers are installed to dampen the left-right swaying of the cars caused by earthquakes, and the stopping distance is reduced by 15% due to the improved performance of the brakes. The cars will be designed in anticipation of the introduction of automatic operation in the future and will be built to handle large amounts of digital data for efficien ...

High-speed Rail In China
The high-speed rail (HSR, ) network in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the List of high-speed railway lines, world's longest and most extensively used. The HSR network encompasses newly built rail lines with a design speed of . China's HSR accounts for two-thirds of the world's total high-speed railway networks. Almost all HSR trains, track and service are owned and operated by the China Railway Corporation under the brand China Railway High-speed (CRH). High-speed rail developed rapidly in China since the mid-2000s. CRH was Campaign to raise the speed of railway travel in China, introduced in April 2007 and the Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway, Beijing-Tianjin intercity rail, which opened in August 2008, was the first passenger dedicated HSR line. Currently, the HSR extends to all Provinces of China, provincial-level administrative divisions and Hong Kong SAR with the exception of Macau SAR.

Rail Transport In China
Rail transport is an important mode of long-distance transportation in China. As of 2024, the country had more than of railways, the 2nd longest network in the world. By the end of 2023, China had more than of high-speed rail (HSR), the longest HSR network in the world. The railway sector in China is essentially operated by the central government. Almost all rail operations are handled by the China State Railway Group Company, Limited, a state-owned company created in March 2013 (as China Railway Corporation) after the dissolution of the Ministry of Railways. It was converted into a joint-stock company and placed under the control of the Ministry of Finance in June 2019. China's railways are the busiest in the world.

High-speed Rail
High-speed rail (HSR) is a type of rail transport network utilising trains that run significantly faster than those of traditional rail, using an integrated system of specialised rolling stock and dedicated railway track, tracks. While there is no single definition or standard that applies worldwide, lines built to handle speeds of at least or upgraded lines of at least are generally considered to be high-speed. The first high-speed rail system, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, began operations in Honshu, Japan, in 1964. Due to the streamlined spitzer (bullet), spitzer-shaped nose cone of the 0 Series Shinkansen, trains, the system also became known by its English nickname bullet train. Japan's example was followed by several European countries, initially in High-speed rail in Italy, Italy with the Florence–Rome high-speed railway, Direttissima line, followed shortly thereafter by High-speed rail in France, France, High-speed rail in Germany, Germany, and High-speed rail in Spain, ...

ICE 4
ICE 4 is a brand name for long-distance Intercity-Express high-speed trains being procured for Deutsche Bahn. Procurement started around 2008 for replacements for locomotive-hauled Intercity (Deutsche Bahn), InterCity and EuroCity in Germany, EuroCity train services, and was later expanded to include replacements for ICE 1 and ICE 2 high-speed trainsets. In 2011 Siemens Mobility was awarded the contract for 130 seven-car intercity train replacements, and 90 ten-car ICE train replacements, plus further options – the contract for the ten-car sets was modified in 2013 to expand the trainset length to twelve vehicles. The name ''ICx'' was used for the trains during the initial stages of the procurement; in late 2015 the trains were rebranded 'ICE 4', at the unveiling of the first train set, and given the class designation 412 by Deutsche Bahn. Two pre-production trainsets had been manufactured by 2016, and were used for testing later that year, prior to the introduction of the mai ...

Shinkansen
The , colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. It was initially built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the List of metropolitan areas in Japan, largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network. It is owned by the Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency and operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. Starting with the Tokaido Shinkansen () in 1964, the network has expanded to consist of of lines with maximum speeds of , of Mini-shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of , and of spur lines with Shinkansen services.
