The CRH1 EMU is a high-speed train operated by China Railways and built by a joint venture between Bombardier Transportation and at Bombardier Sifang Power Transportation factory in Qingdao, Shandong Province, People's Republic of China.
At the same time as ordering the Shinkansen-based CRH2A and the Pendolino-based CRH5A, the Chinese Ministry of Railways ordered Bombardier-based CRH1, specifically 20 CRH1A trainsets in June 2007 and an additional 20 CRH1A trains, each with 8 cars that have total standard capacity of 670 people. The total value of the order is €560 million. In July 2010, a further 40 CRH1A eight-car trains were ordered.
Most CRH1 trains were allocated to Guangshen Railway for replacing all locomotive-hauled trains between Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong province. Some are also used on the line Shanghai – Nanjing.
CRH1A and CRH1B are based on Bombardier's Regina family. The train was designed by and Bombardier jointly in Västerås, Sweden and originally named C2008.
Each CRH1A set consists of 8 cars, the first batch (CRH1-001A~CRH1-040A)including 2 first class coaches (ZY), 5 second class coaches (ZE) and 1 second class coach/dining car (ZEC).the second batch (CRH1-081A~CRH1-120A) including 2 first class coaches (ZY), 1 first class/second class coaches (ZYE), 4 second class coaches (ZE) and 1 second class coach/dining car (ZEC). The potential maximum speed of CRH1A is 250 km/h (155 mph), but in fact the maximum speed of the initial 40 sets in operation is always restricted by the software of computer control system, so the maximum speed in service is 220 km/h (137 mph).
