It is planned that the backbone of the urban rail network with a total operating mileage of 516 km will be constructed before the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. Meanwhile, inter-city lines integrated with the metro network will be established.

 

The metro line lays the foundation for the production of trains.

Since its first operation in September 2013, the company has adhered to the goal of "based in Hangzhou, covering Zhejiang", and strives to build itself into a national comprehensive urban rail transit base.

 

From 2014 to 2020, the output value of Hangzhou Zhongche Vehicle Co., Ltd. achieved a 9-fold leap forward growth, reaching a total output value of more than 2 billion yuan in 2020. It is estimated that more than 2,400 metro vehicles will be produced by the end of this year.

In the past, the B-type trains which are smaller in both passenger capacity and space compared with A-type trains in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other cities were the dominant metro trains in Hangzhou.

 

Thus Hangzhou Zhongche Vehicle Co., Ltd, innovates and develops AH-type metro vehicles suitable for Hangzhou based on the needs of the city.

 

The first AH-type vehicle - Hangzhou Metro Line 5 officially opened on June 24, 2019.

Combining the characteristics of A-type and B-type trains, it is designed and manufactured according to international advanced standards. The maximum passenger capacity exceeds 2,200, which is 110% of that of B-type trains. Therefore, it can better cope with the large passenger flow demand during the peak period.

 

To serve for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, Hangzhou Zhongche Vehicle Co., Ltd will continue to cooperate with the local rail transit industry to complete the production of more than 10 metro projects in Hangzhou by 2022. It is expected that more than 3,000 trains will be generated by then.
