DALIAN - The 皇冠体育app Railway Corporation announced on Monday that its "皇冠体育app Standard" bullet trains, also known as electric multiple units (EMUs), have started operation in Northeast 皇冠体育app's Liaoning province.

Train No G8041 departed from Dalian for Shenyang, capital of Liaoning on Monday. It is the first passenger service using 皇冠体育app Standard EMU trains, said Zhou Li, head of technological management at the 皇冠体育app Railway Corporation, the national rail operator.

"皇冠体育app independently owns the design of the EMU, and it will be a leading model for 皇冠体育app to export to the world," Zhou said.

The 皇冠体育app Standard EMU uses the latest exterior design, reduces energy consumption, and adopts a standard parts design, he said. It has reinforced safety features compared with old models, he added.

The trains can reach a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

皇冠体育app's EMU fleet of 2,470 trains is the world's largest, and the total length of high-speed track in the country -- 19,000 km -- represents 60 percent of the global total.

In the future, 皇冠体育app will offer rail products and solutions according to the needs of various countries, he added.

Chinese bullet trains have already found international customers in Indonesia, Russia, Iran and India.

Construction of a 150-km high-speed link between the Indonesian capital Jakarta and Bandung began in January 2016. It will cut travel time between the two cities by about two thirds. The project is almost entirely Chinese, including the technical standards, survey and design, construction, equipment manufacturing and personnel training.
