Cold-resistant EMU train rolls off assembly line  

中国首列耐高寒地铁车长春下线

中国首列耐高寒的地铁车28日在长春下线，该车可以在零下38摄氏度低温环境下持续运行，实现了中国地铁车辆耐高寒技术的新突破。据介绍，首批车辆将用于年底试通车的哈尔滨地铁一号线。

Changchun (CNS) – China's first cold-resistant high-speed Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train came off the assembly line Tuesday at the Changchun Railway Vehicle Company, indicating a breakthrough in the country's EMU manufacturing.

Employing inert gas, polymers and heat insulation technology, the train is designed to withstand the chill in Harbin, the coldest capital city in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

Only 30 percent of the technology or components used in the building of the EMU train was introduced from overseas, and their cold-resistant capability ranks among the best in the world, said Dong Xiaofeng, president of the CNR Changchun Railway Vehicle Company.
