Made-in-China Bullet Trains to Run on Malaysia’s Railway Tracks

Australia has yet to build its first fast train. There are no plans in the pipeline for any to be built. Other countries around the world not only have fast train networks, but also build them and export them to other countries. Take for exapmle China’s CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive which has recently sold 10 inter-city bullet trains to Malaysia.

The trains, with 4G network coverage and eco-friendly equipment, will be used on a 900-km railway in Malaysia, China’s Xinhua news agency quoted the train manufacturer as saying.

The trains will run at an average speed between 140 to 160 km per hour. The first train is scheduled to be delivered in two years, and the rest nine months later, according to the agreement.

CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive sold 38 bullet trains to Malaysia in 2010, which was the first export of Made-in-China bullet trains.
