On 15 May 2017, a train-set designed for a Pakistani subway rolled off the production line in Central China's Hunan province. The train was produced by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd.
With stainless steel car-body, the 3M+2T train was designed for the 25.58 km Orange Line Metro in Lahore, Pakistan's second largest city.
An energy-saving air-conditioning system suitable for the constant high summer temperature and unstable voltage in Pakistan is the showpiece of the design.
The design combines the national flower of Pakistan and the shape of the dome of the Badshahi Mosque.
Heat-resistant bogies increase durability.
The designed maximum operational speed of the train is around 80 km per hour.
The train will be delivered in July with another 26 following by the end of the year.
