The company said that it will supply nine sets of high-speed trains for Hong Kong, each set consisting of eight carriages. The trains are designed to reach a speed of 350 km/h.
Subsidiary CSR Sifang said the high-speed trains will be based on its independently-made CRH 380A-model trains. The company said it will insure the safety and reliability of the trains while seeking to make further improvements.
CSR is China's leading train manufacturer. The inter-city railway will be 142 kilometers in length upon completion. The railway is expected to completed by 2015.
