The CR300BF Fuxing is one of the electric multiple unit developed for China Railway High-speed network ordered by China Railway from CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles. All Chinese standard EMUs operating on China's passenger dedicated lines and high-speed railways are named "Fuxing".
Development
The CR300 series Fuxing Hao EMUs are the third class of Fuxing Hao EMUs, following the CR400 series and CR200J series.In early 2018, design reviews for the CR300 series Fuxing Hao EMUs began. By the end of September 2018, the CR300BF-0002 prototype was manufactured and rolled off the production line. On October 17, the 0002 prototype was transferred without power to the Beijing [National Railway Test Centre] for testing. On December 8, unit 0002 was transferred to Chengdu railway station. On December 12, unit 0002 began test runs on the Chengdu–Guiyang High-Speed Railway section between Leshan railway station and Xingwen railway station, which was undergoing joint commissioning and testing.
On December 17, 2019, the National Railway Administration approved CRRC Tangshan for mass production of the CR300BF type EMU.
In May 2020, China Railway officially ordered 60 CR300BF units from CRRC, with Changchun Railway Vehicles manufacturing 45 units and Tangshan manufacturing 15 units.
On December 24, 2020, the CR300BF entered service for the first time. Train C3887, operated by a CR300BF unit, departed from Nanjing South railway station via the Shanghai–Nanjing Intercity Railway and Lianyungang–Zhenjiang High-Speed Railway to its destination, Ganyu railway station.
