A new generation of high-speed cargo trains with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour rolled off the production line on Wednesday in Tangshan, north China’s Hebei province. The new train was developed by CRRC Tangshan Co Ltd -- a unit of China Railway Rolling Stock Corp, the country's largest rolling stock manufacturer by production size.

The front of the high-speed cargo train adopts the bionic design of the Chinese sturgeon's skeleton line, which increases the slenderness ratio in front. Results of wind tunnel tests also proved that the train's front is advanced, and greatly reduces the running resistance compared with existing models. The unit weight of cargo consumes only 8 percent of the aircraft's energy, according to CRRC Tangshan.

In terms of function, it features enhanced adaptability to environmental changes. It can operate in temperatures of between -25 C and 40 C and carry up to 110 metric tons of goods.

Compared with air and road transportation, the company said that the high-speed freight train is less affected by climate factors such as heavy rain and strong winds, and can travel a distance of 1,500 kilometers in five hours.

Each car has a pair of 2.9-meter wide loading doors with the largest degree of opening in the world, said the statement.
