BEIJING, Aug. 30 (Xinhuaent) -- Chinese train manufacturer Nanche Sifang Locomotive and six Japanese companies have won the bid for China’s new bullet train.

　　The Chinese Railway Ministry’s 12 billion US dollar project aims to double the speed of trains on five major existing railway lines to 200 kilometers per hour.

　　The five train lines, stretching over 2,000 kilometers, include one linking Beijing and Shenyang in the province of Liaoning and another to connect Qingdao in the coastal province of Shandong with Jinan in the same province.

　　The six Japanese companies are expected to offer a modified version of a Japanese Shinkansen bullet train, which can run at a top speed of 275 kilometers per hour.

　　This would mark the first major transfer of Japan’s Shinkansen technology to China.

China gives bullet-train contract to Japan
Report: Kawasaki Heavy to lead $12 billion project
Updated: 10:43 a.m. ET Aug. 30, 2004BEIJING -

A consortium of Japanese firms led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. won a $12 billion contract to provide high-speed trains to China, Xinhua news agency said on Monday.


The report did not give the exact terms of the contract, which aims to double speeds on five lines in eastern China to 120 miles per hour.

The lines, including one between Beijing and the northeastern industrial city of Shenyang and another from Qingdao to Jinan in eastern Shandong province, stretch more than 1,200 miles.

Details were muddied by other reports and by Kawasaki Heavy itself, which said a deal had not yet been signed.

Kawasaki Heavy, Chinese train maker Nanche Sifang Locomotive and five other Japanese companies had been bidding on the deal by pitching East Japan Railway Co.’s newest ’Hayate’ bullet train, which can hit speeds of up to 168 mph.

The five other companies in the Japanese consortium are Mitsubishi Corp., Hitachi Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Itochu Corp. and Marubeni Corp.

On Sunday, Xinhua said the contract had been awarded to three groups, one led by Kawasaki Heavy, another with France’s Alstom and a third headed by Canada’s Bombardier Inc.

It gave no details, and Monday’s report made no mention of those firms.

Asked for comment on Monday, Kawasaki Heavy said the bullet train contract had not been signed and that the three consortiums would share the deal.

The company said details of the project, including which rail sections would go to which companies, had yet to be decided.

China’s push to modernise its creaking railway system, which is being increasingly strained by breakneck economic growth, has attracted many international firms, including Germany’s Siemens AG.

Chinese authorities are also deliberating bids from several consortiums for a proposed 810-mile high-speed train connecting Shanghai and Beijing, a project potentially worth billions of dollars.

Siemens is part of the Transrapid consortium that built the world’s first commercial magnetic-levitation train in Shanghai, a $1.5 billion project that began regular operation this year.

据华尔街日报报道，中国铁道部（Railway Ministry）将升级改造重要铁路线的合同授予了包括日本的川崎重工业（Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.， 7012.TO）、法国的阿尔斯通公司（Alstom SA， ALS）以及加拿大的Bombadier Inc. （BBD.B.T）在内的6家公司。达成上述交易标志著日本首次将“新干线”（又称：子弹头列车）技术向中国作出重大转让。
