The National Railway Administration releases the first vehicle-level industry technical standard for new energy locomotives

China News Service, November 12. According to the WeChat public account of the National Railway Administration, the National Railway Administration recently officially approved the release of my country's railway industry's first complete vehicle-level industry technical standard for new energy locomotives, successfully filling the gap in industry standards in the field of new energy locomotives in my country and providing solid technical support for the green transformation of railway equipment.

As an important technical document in the field of new energy rolling stock, the standard covers the entire process of new energy locomotive design and development, test verification, production and manufacturing, operation and maintenance, and systematically proposes all-element regulations for new energy locomotives such as operating conditions, classification and naming, locomotive overall, key systems, inspection and testing, etc., realizing the expansion from mainline railways to more railway scenarios, and fully meeting the multi-scenario railway transportation needs of enterprises such as steel, metallurgy, mining, electric power, coal, ports, etc. The standard focuses on the common needs of the entire life cycle of new energy locomotive R&D, verification, and application. It is solidly advanced in a "three-step" process of project first, pilot verification, and standard formation. It coordinates and carries out special research on new energy power system technical requirements, energy efficiency evaluation, energy consumption and endurance measurement, and integrates key issues such as scope definition, safety management and control, performance evaluation, and technology leadership to promote the organic integration of forward-looking layout and implementation.

In the next step, the railway department will accelerate the green replacement of old railway diesel locomotives, continue to optimize the energy consumption structure of railway equipment, push new energy locomotives into a new stage of large-scale and standardized application, further enhance the core competitiveness of my country's green rail transit equipment industry, and contribute Chinese standard solutions to global low-carbon transportation.
