A double decker train manufactured by a Chinese company recently made its debut in the Austrian capital Vienna and will be used for passenger railway operations between Vienna and Salzburg. This is the first time that Chinese made double decker trains have been officially put into the Austrian passenger railway system. This is a double decker train produced by CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. in Vienna, Austria on November 3rd. The double decker train produced by CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. was unveiled at Vienna West Railway Station on the evening of the 3rd local time, photographed by Xinhua News Agency reporter He Canling. This model of train is named "Panda", with a maximum operating speed of 200 kilometers per hour and a designed service life of 30 years. The train consists of six carriages, providing 536 seats that can be reserved. All carriages are equipped with comfortable leather seats, power sockets, and free Wi Fi. Compared to existing trains, the new train has increased its total length by 8 meters and reduced energy consumption by 10%. According to the Austrian private railway operator Western Railway Management Co., Ltd., the company will introduce four double decker trains from CRRC on its main operating route, the Vienna to Salzburg route, to enhance capacity and service quality. Marco Ramsbach, a member of the company's board of directors, said that choosing Chinese companies is based on valuing product quality, innovation, and delivery speed. It is understood that the train unveiled this time meets the strict railway standards of Austria and Europe, and meets various requirements of the line. It is expected that the new train will gradually enter passenger service in the coming weeks. (New Society)
