The CR400BF Fuxing (Chinese: 复兴号; pinyin: Fùxīng Hào) is a Chinese electric high-speed train that was developed and manufactured by CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles. As part of the China Standardized EMU, The CR400BF is designed to operate at a cruise speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) and a maximum speed of 420 km/h (261 mph) in commercial service. Development on the project started in 2012, and the design plan was finished in September 2014. The first EMU rolled off the production line on 30 June 2015.[1] The series received its current designation of Fuxing in June 2017, with the nickname Golden Phoenix.[2] It is among the world's fastest conventional high-speed trains in regular service, with an operating speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).[3]
