Fuxing (train)
series of electric multiple unit high-speed trains operated by China Railway Corporation
Fuxing (simplified Chinese: 复兴号; traditional Chinese: 復興號; pinyin: Fùxīng Hào; lit. 'Rejuvenation'), also known as the CR series EMU (or as the Fuxing Hao), is a series of high-speed and higher-speed EMU trains operated by China Railway High-speed (CRH) and developed by CRRC. They are the first successful high-speed trains to be designed and manufactured in China.
Initially known as the China Standardized EMU, development on the project started in 2012, and the design plan was finished in September 2014. The first EMU rolled off the production line on 30 June 2015. The series received its current designation of Fuxing in June 2017, with nicknames such as "Red Dragon" (CR400AF) and "Golden Phoenix" (CR400BF) for certain units. It is among the world's fastest conventional high-speed trains in regular service, with an operating speed of 350 km/h (220 mph) for the CR400AF and CR400BF models.
Internationally exported versions of the train sets also operate in Indonesia on the Jakarta–Bandung high-speed railway from 2023, with a derivative version of the CR400AF, also known as the KCIC400AF or "Komodo Merah" (literally: red Komodo dragon) or "Petir Merah" (literally: red lightning).
The upcoming CR450AF and CR450BF, designed for a maximum operating speed of 400 km/h (250 mph), are expected to enter service by 2025. In 2023, Chinese state media reported a CR450 train attained a speed of 453 km/h (281 mph) during a test run.
History
Background
In 2004, China's Ministry of Railways contracted Bombardier Transportation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Alstom to supply the first high-speed trains for China, which later known as Hexie (simplified Chinese: 和谐号; traditional Chinese: 和諧號; pinyin: Héxié Hào; lit.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Fuxing (train)” is series of electric multiple unit high-speed trains operated by China Railway Corporation. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Fuxing, train and series, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “series of electric multiple unit high-speed trains operated by China Railway Corporation” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22100858. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2017.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
