On the morning of June 22, China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. held a press conference. The Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway Corporation, the relevant persons in charge of the China Railway Group’s locomotive department and experts from China Railway Economic Planning and Research Institute Co., Ltd. introduced the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway. The Fuxing Intelligent EMU has expanded its operating range and main functions.
At the meeting, Yan Zuokui, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway Company, stated that the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway has safely transported passengers in the 10 years since its opening on June 30, 2011. 1.35 billion passengers, the annual transportation volume increased from 65.53 million in 2012 to 210 million in 2019, an increase of 2.3 times. The total number of trains running on the whole line is nearly 1.2 million. The daily average number of trains has increased from 131 at the initial opening to the current 568. The cumulative travel distance exceeds 1.58 billion kilometers, which is equivalent to nearly 40,000 laps around the equator.
Yan Zuokui said that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has a maximum operating speed of 350 kilometers per hour and the shortest departure interval is only 4 minutes. It is the fastest high-speed railway in the world today.
Yan Zuokui said that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail has become a new engine of economic development. As a major national strategic transportation project and an important part of the “eight vertical and eight horizontal” high-speed rail network, Beijing-Shanghai The high-speed rail links the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Shandong-Anhui-Su-Shanghai” four provinces and three cities, and the population along the line accounts for 26.7% of the total population of the country. It is the most dynamic region in China. The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway closely links the two world-class urban agglomerations, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta, allowing the regions along the route to share the prosperity and wealth brought about by the flow of talents, technology, capital, and information, and build a support for the first development in the east. The high-speed rail economic corridor has become an important engine for high-quality economic and social development.
Specifically, one is to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. Accelerate the transfer and diffusion of production factors such as technology, industry, and capital from large cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai to areas along the route, realize regional specialization and division of labor, and at the same time promote the rapid development of tourism along the route.
The second is to promote the construction of new urbanization. Many cities along the route rely on high-speed rail to build high-speed rail economic belts, high-speed rail new towns, and high-speed rail new districts, reconstructing the city’s territory. The third is to support major national development strategies, serve the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and effectively promote the deconstruction of Beijing’s non-capital functions to Tianjin, Langfang and other places along the route, serve the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and help central cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing to continuously improve their leadership capabilities. , The industrial structure is continuously optimized.
The third is to achieve a new breakthrough in railway reform. On January 16, 2020, the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway Company successfully landed in the A-share market, which is the realization of my country’s railway assets.Important breakthroughs in capitalization, securitization, and equity are also a direct manifestation of China Railway Group’s use of the capital market to serve the real economy and national strategy.
Yan Zuokui said that the listing of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway fully proved that it is feasible to realize asset securitization of railway transportation assets by means of trunk corridors, and provided a benchmark for China Railways to further promote capital operations. . The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail IPO raised a total of 30.674 billion yuan, which is the 9th largest IPO project in the history of the A-share market and the largest non-financial corporate IPO project in the A-share market in the past 10 years.
In addition, Yan Zuokui mentioned that the Beijing-Shanghai Railway has also accumulated new experience in operation and maintenance. As China’s high-speed rail standard demonstration line, Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail dared to take the lead in operation and maintenance, becoming a pathfinder for my country’s high-speed rail operation and maintenance system innovation and a test field for technological innovation. At the same time, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway technology innovation, strengthened safety management, independently developed the Chinese standard intelligent rail rapid grinding car prototype test car, innovated and developed an integrated intelligent operation and maintenance management system, and the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway independently developed drone inspection and large-scale inspections. Various high and new technologies such as the PHM2.0 monitoring system (prediction and health management system) of span bridges also provide new ideas and formulate new standards for China’s high-speed railway safety management.
