More than 300 leaders and guests from the National Development and Reform Commission, Henan local government, relevant departements in Zhengzhou and Xuchang, China Association of Metros, CRRC, Zhengzhou Metro, Xuchang Constructin Investment, as well as more than 120 domestic metro companies, research institutes, universities and spare parts enterprises attended the ceremony. As the research and development unit of high-end bearings for serialized Chinese standard metro trains, C&U was invited to the ceremony.

 

In order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of China's urban rail transit industry and enhance technology and core competitiveness of urban rail transit equipment, from July 2019, CRRC, together with China Association of Metros, metro companies, scientific research institutions and cooperative units, has jointly implemented a series of China standard metro train development and test projects.

 

C&U, as the research and development unit of series high-end bearings for China standard metro trains, carried out comprehensive design, simulation analysis, inspection and test, and tackle key technologies in bearing rings, rolling elements, cages, seals, special materials, special heat treatment and special processes. It also developed and tested series bearings, such as axle box bearings, gearbox bearings, traction motor bearings and cooling fan bearings, which has made contributions to the development of the first series of China standard metro trains.

 

According to reports, China standard subway trains are guided by Chinese standards, adopt standardized, modular, and serialized design concepts, and have completely independent intellectual property rights, which will promote the further improvement of the standard system of metro vehicles in China, and provide important equipment support for the realization of high-quality sustainable development of urban rail transit and the strategy of “transportation power”.
