[Two departments: develop new vehicles such as ultra-high-speed trains] The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Science and Technology announced on the 13th the "Opinions on Speeding up the Construction of a Transport Powerful Country Driven by Scientific and Technological Innovation." The "Opinions" proposes to rationally coordinate the research on high-speed wheel-rail trains and high-speed heavy-haul freight trains. Strengthen the research and development of complete sets of technologies for autonomous transportation systems. Carry out the development of new types of transportation tools such as ultra-high-speed trains and ultra-high-speed commercial aircraft, and overcome the theoretical system and key technologies of submarine floating tunnels.

• [CGN Tuanfeng Weijiachong Pumped Storage Power Station units put into operation]
• On October 16, 2026, the first unit of the CGN Tuanfeng Weijiachong Pumped Storage Power Station was put into commercial operation, which is the first small and medium-sized pumped storage project to be put into operation during China's 15th Five Year Plan period. As the first small and medium-sized pumped storage power station in China to adopt a "runway type" semi underground factory building, this project has built the deepest semi underground factory building shaft in China, which will strongly support the construction of the Hubei Province source grid load storage collaborative interactive power system.Editor/Cheng Liting

• [The largest comprehensive testing platform for compressors in China is put into use]
• On October 15, 2026, the largest comprehensive test platform for electric driven double trailer large compressors in China, built by Dongfang Electric, was completed and put into operation. This platform focuses on three core functions: basic research, prototype verification, and factory inspection. It can conduct aerodynamic performance tests at all levels of axial flow and centrifugal compressors, build blade and element level databases, and provide data support for unit design.
