今天在韩国现代ROTEM的网站上看到一篇文章,说他们是日本、法国、德国之后世界上第四个掌握高速铁路技术的国家,是实事求是的还是棒子自己意淫的呢?请高人指正一下。如果他们是第四个,那中国呢?他们的理论最高速度才330,实际运行最高速度只有300,这个比中国的350低得多啊:L

Hyundai Rotem Rolls-out World's 4th High Speed Train
- Fourth in the world to develop 300km/h High Speed Train with independent technology
- Most successful case of national scale project over the past 10 years
Hyundai Rotem Company, a heavy industries company affiliated with the Hyundai Motor Group, revealed to the public its first set of the new Korean high speed train, KTX-II, which was made with independent Korean technology. The Chairman of the Committee of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs of the National Assembly of Korea Lee Byung Suk, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs Lee Jae Kyun, foreign Ambassadors, representatives of KORAIL(Korea Railway) and 500 guests were present at the ceremony held on November 25, at the company's plant in Changwon.
Korea has proudly become the fourth country in the world following Japan, France and Germany that has acquired the technology to manufacture and operate the 300km/h(maximum speed 330km/h) high speed train.
Hyundai Rotem was able to commercialize the KTX-II based on the national project for the first Korean high speed train(HRS-350), which was first initiated when the new Kyungbu high speed train line was constructed. The project was administrated by government including the Ministry of Knowledge and Economy, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, along with 129 organizations including private companies such as Hyundai Rotem and research institutes.
Since 1996, a total of 255.8 billion won(KRW) was invested into this project involving over 6,600 researchers.
The successful development of the new high speed trains has brought innovations to the level of basic technology and analytical technology of high speed trains. At once this noticeable progress has now placed Korea as the world's 5th most advanced country in railway technology.
According to The Korea Transport Institute, the independent development of the high speed trains is expected to bring benefits in import cost worth 7.5 trillion won(KRW) and reduce the Korean railway budget by 840 billion won(KRW).
In the process of developing the required technology for high speed trains, Korea has acquired independent technology for total railway systems such as IT, machinery, signaling and communication. By applying these technologies to railway systems, urban railway systems and light rail vehicles, the Korean railway industry is expected to make great advancements in technology.
The KTX-II was designed to minimize air resistance with a streamline design and maximize energy efficiency with an aluminum alloy car body. The safety and reliability has also been increased with main equipments such as high power motor, inverters and brake system, traction motor and supervisory control unit, which were developed with Korea?셲 independent technology.
The new high speed train is also expected to bring flexibility and efficiency in operation. It can be adjusted and operated as 10 cars in one train set or 20 cars in one train set according to the number of passengers, as opposed to KTX, which is the fixed at 20 cars in one train set.
Moreover, the new trains have been upgraded with newly installed convenience facilities to meet the needs of passengers. All of the seats are more spacious and rotatable. New facilities such as family compartments, handicap restrooms and snack bars are available. Also, more services such as wireless internet and DMB reception are provided to bring more comfort to the passengers.
The KTX-II, which was designed and manufactured by Hyundai Rotem, will go through a test running process for 6 months, conducted by KORAIL(Korea Railroad). Its actual revenue service will start with the Honam line. In the second phase of the project, it will run through the Jeolla line, Kyeongjeon line and Kyungbu line.
Hyundai Rotem has proven its technology to the world railway market with the release of KTX-II and is aggressively seeking opportunities in new markets that have the demand for high speed trains, such as Turkey, Brazil and Australia.
Along with the Hyundai Rotem, many other companies that have participated in developing the KTX-II have been acknowledged by the world and are expected to advance into overseas markets as well. |
