[Explanation] On November 4, the National Advanced Rail Transit Equipment Innovation Center was inaugurated in Zhuzhou, Hunan.
Facing the high-speed, heavy-load, green, and intelligent development trend of rail transit equipment, the center will focus on cutting-edge leading technologies, key common technologies and modern engineering technologies.
According to Zhou Qinghe, the honorary chairman and legal representative of the National Advanced Rail Transit Equipment Innovation Center, the center adopts a company plus alliance operation model, has established an independent legal entity, and is led by academicians of the two academies, supported by industry experts, and guaranteed by core talents. High-level scientific research team.

Rail transit equipment is an advanced representative of China's manufacturing. The establishment of a (national) advanced rail transit equipment innovation center is of far-reaching significance for my country's rail transit equipment field to further enhance independent innovation capabilities, get rid of external technology dependence, and enhance international competitiveness.
[Explanation] Zhuzhou is China's largest rail transit equipment industry production and R&D base, and has formed the world's most complete industrial chain integrating rail transit product R&D, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, and logistics.
In May 2016, Hunan Province and CRRC signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly build a national rail transit equipment manufacturing innovation center; in January 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially approved the establishment of a national advanced rail transit equipment innovation center.
Wang Zhijun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that, as a key field in the construction of a manufacturing power, the rail transportation equipment field has achieved remarkable results after years of innovative development. Many technologies and products have reached the international advanced level, which is one of China’s key advantages. One.
However, compared with the world's first-class level, China's R&D force in the field of rail transit equipment is still relatively scattered, the transformation of results is not smooth, the supply of key common technologies in the industry is relatively weak, and the standard system construction is relatively lagging.

To build a national advanced rail transit equipment innovation center is to narrow the gap between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain as soon as possible, fill up the above shortcomings, face major common technical needs, and clear the basic research technology from the application of basic research technology R&D engineering and industrialization to the first commercialization. The fast lane will enhance the innovation level of the industrial chain in the field of rail transit equipment.
[Explanation] It is reported that after the inauguration of the National Advanced Rail Transit Equipment Innovation Center, it will focus on green energy-saving technologies represented by new energy storage systems and multi-energy hybrid drives, and high-efficiency traction represented by high-efficiency drive systems and permanent magnet motor electric drives. Technology, system matching technology represented by bow-to-net coupling, traction matching, and wheel-rail matching, and safety assurance technology represented by 5G-vehicle-to-vehicle communication and on-board emergency equipment, etc., launched technical breakthroughs.
