Sorl has become qualified supplier to Changchun railway
Published: Fri, 2015-02-13 09:32Sorl Auto Parts, a manufacturer and distributor of automotive brake systems in China, recently announced that it became a qualified supplier to Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd., (Changke).
For Changke's CRH3 series of bullet trains, Sorl is supplying energy absorbing systems, and repair and replacement services for certain modules of the pneumatic valve system used throughout the train. In addition, the Company is also supplying repair and replacement services for certain modules of the pneumatic valve system for Changke's CRH5 series bullet trains.
The energy absorbing systems are designed to increase the crashworthiness of a train in the unlikely event of a crash. Pneumatic valve systems on bullet trains in China have traditionally been supplied and repaired exclusively by a major international competitor. However, Changke determined SORL's repair service for certain modules was quicker, more cost effective, and with the same high quality.
Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd., it is a subsidiary of China North Railway (CNR). CNR directly holds 26 subsidiaries established in the PRC and three subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong, South Africa and the U.S respectively. CNR focuses primarily on the manufacturing and refurbishment of rolling stock.
