The CR400AF-Z intelligent bullet train departed from Guiyangdong Railway Station and headed towards Nanningdong Railway Station on Jan 10, marking its debut on the Guiyang-Nanning High-Speed Railway.

This train is a high-end model in the Fuxing high-speed train series, consisting of eight standard carriages. It has a total length of 208.95 meters, a width of 3.36 meters, and a height of 4.05 meters. With a capacity of 578 passengers, it can reach a maximum continuous speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

In terms of intelligence, the train is equipped with a comprehensive perception system. With over 2,500 sensors spread throughout the train, it forms an all-around safety monitoring network that allows for the real-time monitoring of its running condition, bearing temperature, cooling system temperature, brake system status, and interior environment.

In terms of informatization, the train has achieved full Wi-Fi coverage inside the carriages. The number of charging ports for mobile phones under the seats has increased, and USB charging ports have been added alongside the two-pin sockets.

In terms of saving energy, the train's energy consumption is reduced by 7.5 percent to 12.3 percent compared to the standard version of the Fuxing bullet train under different circumstances.

Furthermore, while maintaining the same number of seats, the CR400AF-Z has increased the distance between seats in the first class from 1.10 meters to 1.16 meters, and the seat length in the second class has been extended by 2 centimeters.

To meet the needs of more passengers, the fourth carriage of the train is equipped with a barrier-free restroom, a space for large luggage storage, and a dedicated area for passengers with disabilities.
