6-Jan-2003 - |
The Chinese-made electric locomotive "China Star" was clocked at 321.5 kilometers per hour during a test run early this week. Made at the Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Plant, a major manufacturer of train engines in the country, the China Star locomotive features cutting-edge technology, said Liu Youmei, chief designer of the locomotive program. With the plant fully having the intellectual property right, China Star's technological specifications rival that of internationally-advanced standards in developed countries, according to Liu, also an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The China Star project was a key state technological development launched in early 2001 by the State Development Planning Commission and the Ministry of Railways. High-speed trains drawn by an electric engine are regarded as a symbol of modernization in the railway industry. The successful development of a train with an average speed of over 200 kilometers per hour indicates that China's locomotive enterprises are now able to compete internationally, Liu said. |
