China's iron will enter the United States market

World iron development "golden period" for China's high-speed rail "going out" opportunities and challenges

7 December, the seventh World Congress for high-speed railway in Beijing. According to reports, this is the first time in European countries other than fully showed China's iron in the world of increasingly important position.

On the same day, two heavyweight news attention: first, the Chinese Minister Liu zhijun and France Alstom signed Sabina Ke Dragon, Chairman of the long-term cooperation agreement, the parties will jointly develop to meet China's domestic and international market demand for advanced railway products; second, the United States General Electric (GE), the company announced that it will and CSR Ltd signed a cooperation framework agreement, the parties will establish a joint venture in the United States to jointly promote high-speed rail and other mass transit in the United States market, this means that China iron and the next step is to walk into the United States domestic market.

Trend

World set off a wave of high speed rail development

High speed railway as a safe and reliable, fast and comfortable, carrying capacity, low-carbon-friendly mode of transport, has become the world's important railway development trend. Data show that as of now, global operational of the high-speed railway near 2.5 million km, distributed in China, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom, Korea, China, Taiwan, etc. in 17 countries and regions.

With the "low carbon" ideas become the consensus of the international community, world high speed rail ushered in the "golden period". The information daily reporter from the seventh World Congress on high-speed railway, including Japan, France, Germany, the United States and other countries will be the future high as sustainable transport development direction, and made a huge high-speed railway construction plans.

Prior to that, the United States President Barack Obama has indicated that it will spend $ 8 billion, and in the United States to promote the construction of high-speed railway. 2030 in four stages completed national 11.7 million miles of national high-speed railway system. 80 million investment will be used to subsidize the construction of 13 tracks of high speed railway and updates, repairs, purchase of equipment, to create a large number of employment opportunities. In addition, the Government will in the next five years, from the federal budget of us $ 1 billion, as the down payment. California, Florida and Illinois, three States will be able to obtain large amounts of iron.

California high speed rail authority Director, United States California high-speed rail project leader di Lipton 7 revealed: "California will begin in the coming years, the high speed railway project cost approximately 430 billion, approximately 790 miles in length, it is expected that the 2018 2020, passenger traffic is estimated at 45 million to 55 million, about $ 24 billion in revenue, gross profit after deducting costs about $ 11 billion. "California high speed rail project would become the United States history, the most large-scale infrastructure projects.

United Kingdom high-speed railway line 2 (HS-2) Chief Engineer AndrewMcnaughton said: "Although United Kingdom land area smaller, the railway is not popular in the United Kingdom, more accustomed to travel by car, but for a distance of 300 km/h and above, iron may be more attractive. North-South line of the current planning scheme operating speed of 360 km of high speed train, it is expected that by the year 2025, the official carrier for passenger traffic is expected to be 14.5 million people. ”

Market

Chinese iron and win a number of international cooperation

Chinese Vice Premier Zhang dejiang in World Congress for high-speed railway, said in a speech in China, "" 12 five planning will continue the development of high-speed railways, as giving priority to the development of new industries in developing financial investment, construction, technology, innovation, business environment, intensify support. The Chinese Government to encourage domestic railway enterprises "going out", participation in other national railway building; while also expanding high-speed railway industry opening to actively with other countries to share technology and strengthen cooperation.

At present, China put into operation of high speed railway reached 7531 km, there are a large number of high speed railway is under construction, and operation of mileage and under construction scale are the highest in the world. The rapid development of China's iron is not only changing the domestic traffic patterns, and changing the international high-speed rail market. Chinese iron "going out", is no longer the cheap labor of output, but truly high-end new cooperation in the field of technology.

Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand posted · thuaksupan and Lao Deputy Prime Minister sawasdi · Ling sawasdi 7, on cooperation in the construction, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar (Austin), new (slope), MA (to West Asia) railway hopes, hopes for an early start, build, to boost the country's economy, strengthening the economy in China and ASEAN trade. Pigment pastes · thuaksupan said the country's Parliament has approved the project.

7, 2001, the Chinese Minister Liu zhijun and France Alstom Chairman Pak Ke Dragon signed a long-term cooperation agreement, both will be joining development meet China's domestic and international market demand for advanced railway products. Under the terms of this agreement, the Ministry of railways and Alstom will EMU and electric locomotive has both on the basis of cooperation, both in the railway field faster new cooperation. According to reports, the cooperation includes and China North car cooperation intercity vehicles, high-speed trains, locomotives, etc; also used for Intercity trains and high speed railway signal system. Alstom's Chairman Pak Ke Dragon revealed that the next three months, Alstom and the framework agreement signed by the Ministry of railways will materialize. Both sides will join our joint design, development, and promotion meet domestic and international market demand for advanced products and solutions.

7 October, the United States General Electric announced in Beijing and China South locomotive co., Ltd. signed a cooperation framework agreement, a joint venture established in the United States to jointly promote high-speed rail and other mass transit technology in the United States to promote the development of the market. This cooperation framework agreement was signed, and the United States in United States domestic enterprises will manufacture of high-speed trains, and used for future high-iron, China United States officially entered the United States market. The joint venture will "is expected to become the first for the United States, Florida, and California, two high speed railway project

United States manufacturer of high technology. This agreement also will manufacture liquid units and urban rail transport vehicles to support United States passenger transport system development. "GE Vice Chairman John · Condoleezza Rice said.

It is learnt that the collaboration will bring about a joint investment of $ 5000. This framework agreement signed following a GE company and China Ministry of railways in November 2009 the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed a strategic cooperation, both China and the United States to support the development of the high-speed railway passenger transport marked an important step.

In addition, GE transportation systems group and China Ministry of railways is also a separate signed a strategic cooperation memorandum of understanding (MOU) is committed to further expanding the rail transportation technology cooperation to serve China and North American markets.

Challenge

Security operation has not yet been fully trust the market

Development of high-speed railway in the world of new wave for China's high-speed rail "going out" has brought a unique development opportunity and broad space for development. At present, China has more than 300 kilometres per hour speed railway technology is the world leader in the field. China also is the world's fastest high speed railway. CSR as China's largest rail manufacturer, also is the world's largest rail transportation equipment enterprises in high, medium liquid units and urban rail transport vehicle design, manufacturing, testing, repair and maintenance has a wealth of experience and advanced technologies, the development of the "harmonious" CRH380A just 3 December set speed 486.1 km world railway test maximum speed.

CSR related personnel in the information daily reporter interview said that with China's iron in the world's increasing influence, equipment manufacturing enterprise voice and export has been improved. The people said: "our last year's overseas check single volume over the previous year has increased by 60%. At the same time, the concern is that the impact is progressively play, integrated view of the present world in low carbon and other background developing high speed rail, and other factors, future market conditions should be better than now. ”

Pak Ke dragon told reporters, China in the field of rapid development of the high-speed railway, scored achievements, and have mastered the advanced technology of high-speed railway in the world. To this end, Alstom is willing to do things the Chinese railways together, combining conducive to both sides in the global competitive railway market in occupies a leading position.

Another concern is that many countries and technology, and equipment manufacturers to look into the reason is not only China because China has advanced technology, but also because China has a huge iron "cake". The next three years, China will invest $ 9000, 9200 km high-speed rail, is the world's largest iron market.

But at the same time, some experts said that the Chinese iron "going out" the challenge is not small.

First international competition issues arise. Over the years, the world of high speed railway market has been Japan, Germany, France and other high power in occupies, the Chinese iron "going out" will change the world-iron market pattern.

Second, China iron and multifaceted advanced performance still further recognition of the international community. In the 7 day afternoon multi-field grouping discussion meeting, the representatives of the participating countries are on the Chinese iron and praise, but their conversation was between the eyes reveal its real esteem or Japan and France, the old iron power. When coming from the United Kingdom, the United States for railroad experts for presentations, examples to Japan and other countries. Di Lipton said: "Japan Shinkansen and France have already run the high-speed railway 45 years, there has never been a case of death. "His words revealed that China iron after all operation time shorter, would like to obtain sufficient confidence there are also awaited.
