CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive has been facilitating the improvement of electric locomotive industry in China, from “manufacture” to “manufacture + service”. Chairman of CSR, Zheng Changhong attended the off-line ceremony and made speech. 

It is reported that the first off-line vehicles will serve for the first phase projects of line 1 and line2, backbone of south-north transportation in Kunming. There are six vehicles, marshaled and all-welded by type B alufer, with the highest operation speed of 100km/h. Employed in the first phase project of rail transit in Kunming, applying the most advanced techniques of urban rail design and manufacture in the world in the layout of brake system, running gear components and anti-collision equipments, these vehicles possess the quality of high safety, share energy saving air-conditioners, LED light and other low-carbon, green initiative equipments, provide the comfort and humanizing in-car environment, match with beautiful Kunming naturally, where each season is like spring. 

These vehicles are given birth by first “4S” store of Chinese Rail Transit, which is most different from the former production process of inland rail transit vehicles and also means these new type vehicles will be accompanied by matched and completed maintenance service since its appearance. In this way, vehicles can enjoy professional and completed maintenance service, while owners can devote to daily vehicle operation work, released from multifarious vehicle maintenance trivia. 

CSR Zhuzhou Electric locomotive company opened China’s first rail transit “4S” store in May 10th, 2012, allowing vehicle operators of urban rail transit to utilize technique advantage of research and manufacturers to work out problems as daily maintenance of vehicles, lower vehicle maintenance cost, then reach win-win result.
