The Fuxing trains include silent carriages, in which passengers are required to be quiet and to make no noise. The trains also appoint barrier-free carriages to make it more convenient for differently-abled people.
The trains' air conditioning units adopt converter technologies to make temperature regulation more precise and to generate less noise. The technologies will also help lower energy consumption by 10 percent.
According to officials with the national railway authorities, these 17 high-speed railway trains are all covered with 5G Wi-Fi signals. Passengers will be able to access higher-quality mobile network services.
