Qingdao is the origin of China's high-speed trains. From the first column of "Harmony" to the first column of "Fuxing", this witnessed the rapid improvement of China's rail transit industry from catching up to surpassing through independent innovation.

In March 2021, Qingdao's rail transit equipment industry cluster was successfully selected as a national advanced manufacturing cluster organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This is a strong evidence of the distinctive features and development advantages of Qingdao's rail transit industry.

On July 20, the world's first high-speed maglev transportation system with a design speed of 600 kilometers per hour was successfully rolled off the assembly line in Qingdao. This "new speed" of rail transit is important for building a new engine for my country's high-end equipment industry, forming a new advantage in rail transit, seizing the commanding heights of technological competition, accelerating the construction of a modern comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, and supporting the strategy of a "powerful country in science and technology" and "powerful transportation country". Significant and far-reaching significance.

While "China Speed" is making unremitting efforts to stand on the pinnacle of rail transit technology in the world, the development of Qingdao rail transit industry has gradually opened up a new space full of "imagination"—work hard to build advantageous industrial clusters and build rails at a high level. The transportation industry demonstration zone will build an industrial ecosystem that converges the global high-speed train technology industrial chain, innovation chain, capital chain, and talent chain "four chains in one", and is moving towards a 500 billion-level world advanced rail transit industrial cluster.

Build a source of original technology

Nowadays, rail transit equipment has become one of the industries with the highest degree of independent innovation in my country's high-end manufacturing field, the strongest international innovation competitiveness, and the most obvious industrial driving effect. It has become a "big power weapon" and "national name card" that has attracted worldwide attention. Qingdao has become a witness to this industry's major leap from catching up to leading the way.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd. developed a series of "Fuxing" EMUs with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, and a 17-unit super-long version, which helped the high-speed rail take the lead; the first car with a carbon fiber structure The release of a new generation of subway trains, leading the development direction of subway technology; successfully developed the first domestic short marshalling intercity EMUs, municipal D-type EMUs, fully automatic municipal EMUs and other series of products, realizing the continuous leadership of intercity municipal EMU technology; developed The world's first commercial hydrogen energy tram was put into operation, ushering in the "Hydrogen Era" of modern trams in China. Since the beginning of this year, there have been major innovations such as the "Fuxing" intelligent EMU, China's standard subway, and a high-speed maglev transportation system with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd. has continued to create one after another with the pursuit of "serving the country by industry", turning many impossible into possible, and accumulating confidence and confidence in the future.

As a subsidiary of CRRC, also rooted in Qingdao, CRRC Sifang seizes the important window period for the development of national high-speed rail and urban rail, and strives to build original technology sources, strives to create individual champions and invisible champions, and actively strive to deepen reforms. A new benchmark for cooperation. Integrating innovation to build a platform, relying on Qingdao Metro Line 6 to develop an autonomous operation system (TACS) based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and achieve breakthroughs in international leading technological innovation. It was released for the first time in May this year in the country; the integration of industry, finance, and ecology, and Qingdao Metro and CRRC Sifang jointly established a rail transit maintenance joint venture to coordinate the development of the upstream and downstream industrial chain. In addition, relying on the national intelligence demonstration project undertaken, CRRC Sifang is working hard to build a national R&D system, promote breakthroughs in key technologies of "new system integration" with a large-scale project system, and create "integrated intelligent solutions for the entire life of rail transit." Keeping the lead and making China's high-speed rail "beautiful business card" even more shining.

The rail transit equipment manufacturing led by central enterprises is the foundation for the development of Qingdao's rail transit industry. Around this core resource element, a "high-speed train town" is rapidly emerging on the salt-alkali barren beach of Jihongtan in the past. The 83 square kilometers of land here has become the core bearing area for the development of Qingdao's rail transit industry. It has more than 90% of the city's rail transit equipment manufacturing resources. The Qingdao Rail Transit Industry Demonstration Zone is the only high-speed rail metro vehicle production in China and the key core of rail transit. An industrial cluster integrating system R&D and manufacturing, and a national basic application technology collaborative innovation platform, which gathers innovative forces in the high-speed train field, such as upper, middle and downstream enterprises, universities and research institutes, and has a national high-speed train technology innovation center as the representative There are 9 R&D institutions, 3 CRRC leading vehicle manufacturers, 162 industrial enterprises above designated size, and more than 300 major supporting enterprises of various types. In 2020, the output value of the entire industrial chain of rail transit in the demonstration zone will reach 110 billion yuan.

In order to speed up the construction of the innovation source of the rail transit industry, the demonstration zone will continue to support host companies to develop intelligent train lineage products, and expand key supporting technologies and products such as traction, braking, and network control systems. Speed up the establishment of the national innovation center system and mechanism, and realize the innovation of governance structure. Strengthen research on core technologies, and strengthen research on key common technologies in the fields of wheel-rail system dynamics, lightweight materials, and system energy saving. Speed up the construction of 12 key projects with a total investment of 13.8 billion yuan, including the Equipment Intelligence Research Institute and the New Material Technology Research Institute. Strive to complete the main body of the CRRC Big Data Center project by the end of the year. Organize innovation and entrepreneurship competitions to tap high-quality high-growth potential technology companies.

Create advantageous industrial clusters

Rail transit has a long industrial chain, including upstream technology research, design development, design consulting, midstream construction and equipment manufacturing, downstream operation and maintenance, and value-added services. At present, the Qingdao rail transit industrial chain is mainly concentrated in the equipment manufacturing link, and the industrial development has great room for expansion and potential.
