Australian Transportation.)

The "Rail Transit Industry Developments in Australia" project was commissioned 
by the University of Queensland. Upon analysing Australia's rail equipment 
market and taking consideration of the dynamic factors of future need, the 
report projected the developing trend of the market for next 5 to 10 years, 
primarily focusing on the major cities Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, 
Adelaide and Canberra. 

The report serves as guidance for future rail equipment companies to 
participate in construction projects in Australia and promote the development 
of the local rail transit industry. 

A valued member of the Australasian Railway Association (ARA), CRRC focuses on 
the development of Australia's public transit industries and strives on solving 
pain points of transportation through technological innovation and improved 
production efficiency. 

Immersive, autonomous and green, the next-gen metro train was presented at the 
event, achieving GoA 4, it is one of the lightest fully automated trains in the 
world, with a state-of-the-art system providing optimal acceleration, braking 
and cruising speeds. The train has also been specially designed for rush-hour 
by reducing the minimum time gap between two scheduled trains to 85 seconds, 20 
percent shorter than the average waiting time.

The new train was designed to be comfortable and convenient for all, it's 
wheelchair-accessible and equipped with aid services for passengers with 
hearing difficulties.

Gao Kang, Press Spokesperson of CRRC said: "CRRC always insists on an open, 
innovative and sharing strategy that contributes to the sustainable development 
of economy, society and environment. As we share the trends of Australia's 
transit market over the next decade in the newly released reports, we're also 
unveiling the world's first metro train built with all carbon fiber composite 
materials, a lighter and greener design that carries CRRC's vision for future 
metro transit and will push forward 'material revolution' and upgrading."

Over 20 years, CRRC has built its reputation as a renowned brand in Australia, 
delivering quality products and services. Its partnership with Downer gave more 
than 800 double-deck EMUs to the Sydney. 

Bob Herbert, chairman of ARA, noted CRRC's achievement and contribution to 
Australia's public rail transportation service.

"Australian governments, both state and federal, are investing at unprecedented 
levels in rolling stock and infrastructure, government investment is 
approaching USD150 billion at last count, this opens up enormous opportunities 
for rail companies, especially for companies like CRRC which has the reputation 
as a leading-edge supplier," explained Herbert.
