CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd. () is a prominent Chinese manufacturer specializing in rolling stock and operates as a subsidiary of CRRC. Founded in 1954 under the name Changchun Car Company, it was initially part of CNR Corporation before the merger with CSR that led to the creation of CRRC. The firm designs and manufactures a wide range of rail vehicles, including locomotives, passenger coaches, multiple units, rapid transit trains, and light rail vehicles for both domestic use and international clients. It has also formed technology transfer collaborations with global industry leaders such as Bombardier Transportation, Alstom, and Siemens Mobility.
Joint Ventures
In 2004, Alstom secured the first high-speed train contract in China, assisting CRRC in producing 60 units of the CRH5 high-speed trains.
By November 2016, CRRC was awarded the contract to manufacture the High Capacity Metro Train for Melbourne’s suburban rail network via Evolution Rail, a public–private partnership involving the Downer Group and Plenary Group.
Changchun Alstom Railway Vehicles Co. Ltd. (CARC)
Formed in 1996 through a partnership between CRRC and Adtranz (later acquired by Bombardier Transportation, now part of Alstom), CARC has been responsible for producing metro vehicles for cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Since 2015, it has also exported trains for Singapore’s MRT system.
