Last week China north industries corporation 28 sets made in China to Ethiopia railway locomotive news release, after this news once again let the "made in China" has attracted the attention of the public.
Through years of efforts, the "made in China" have higher recognition in the world, but has been "low cost" as "made in China" in the main weapon in the competition in the market, in recent years, the Chinese international trade environment is becoming more and more difficult, rise to seek a new way is imperative, made in China have to create in product innovation and technology research and development on serious and strive to change the past only undertake the role of non-critical technology link of production. As a result, the author can not help but recall in just a few short years high-speed emu development change process. In 2004, the ministry of railways alstom's cooperation with the manufacturers, for the first round of the speed of 200 km high-speed train technology introduction of bidding, product through technology transfer, for the most part completed by domestic production, and during the trial operation, high fault rate and disappointing. Since then, north of the car as a representative of locomotive vehicle manufacturers started to research and development level of 200 km of emus. But it is still based on France's alstom train to Italy the emu as the prototype, failed to get rid of the core support of foreign technology. Until the original ministry of railways has established "the emu independent innovation deepening research project" key technology of the major subject, just took a big step in the breakthrough of core technology.
China north of emu traction control system of electric drive system and the network, in which independent innovation is born, marked with Chinese origin of the world's advanced level of the emu the birth of the two core system. One year later, the new type GRH2 alpine emu into public view. More prominent high and low temperature resistance, resistance to dust, such as performance, again to refresh the public mind the domestic locomotive manufacturing technology level, the road to seek breakthrough the bitterness of hard the feeling, also only oneself know. As Chinese people, pride.
