CRRC

CRRC Corporation Limited, commonly known as CRRC, is a Chinese state-owned multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and services rolling stock and related railway equipment. It is headquartered in Beijing and was established in 2014 through the merger of the former state-owned enterprises China CNR Corporation Limited and CSR Corporation Limited, consolidating most of China’s rail vehicle production under a single company. It is listed on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges and is largely controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the Chinese government.

CRRC's product portfolio covers a wide range of rail vehicles and systems, including high-speed passenger trains, conventional passenger coaches, electric locomotives, freight wagons, and urban transit vehicles such as metro cars and light rail vehicles. The company also provides related equipment and services, including railway signaling, maintenance, and turnkey system integration for railway projects.

Globally, CRRC operates manufacturing facilities, service centers, and sales offices in China and abroad, supplying customers in Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. It is widely regarded as one of the largest suppliers of rolling stock and rail transit equipment by volume and revenue, with a substantial share of both domestic and international orders.

R&D and innovation are central to CRRC’s operations, with multiple research centers and collaborations with universities and industry partners aimed at advancing propulsion, energy efficiency, safety, and interoperability of rail systems. See alsoRail transport in China and High-speed rail in China.
