At the beginning of January, at the railway station in Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province in eastern Pakistan, a train composed of broad-gauge passenger cars imported from China was parked next to the platform, and the brand-new carriages attracted the attention of passing passengers. Boarding the train, Lei Song, an engineer from CRRC Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., and Imran Jacob, director of the vehicle maintenance department at Lahore Station of the Pakistan Railways, began to check the various setting parameters of the car control room, and prepared for the passenger car test in the near future. Prepare to run.
On January 5, technicians from Pakistan Railways tested audio-visual entertainment equipment in a broad-gauge passenger car imported from China in Lahore, Pakistan
The first batch of 46 wide-gauge buses and spare parts of the 230-bus project exported by CRRC Tangshan to Pakistan arrived in Pakistan. As an enterprise directly under the Ministry of Railways of Pakistan, Pakistan Railways is the owner of the project, and its headquarters is located in Lahore. Lei Song, as the station manager of CRRC Tangshan Company stationed in Lahore Station to provide after-sales service, flew to Karachi, a port city in southern Pakistan, with his Chinese colleagues more than a month ago. After meeting with the technicians of the Pakistan Railways, they traveled northward with the passenger car to Lahore.
The coaches are ready to run on the railway tracks after arriving in Karachi. Lei Song said: "We have completed line tests on small radius curves, boundaries, emergency braking of trains at various speeds, and smooth running of passenger cars on several railway lines in Bananbei with passenger cars. The test results are very successful."

Su Weiyue, a full-time project manager and senior engineer of the Overseas Project Department of CRRC Tangshan Company, told reporters that the maximum design speed of the buses exported in this project reached 160 kilometers per hour. According to the agreement between China and Pakistan, the remaining 184 buses to be exported will be transported to Pakistan in the form of spare parts and raw materials. Chinese technicians will be responsible for teaching Pakistani personnel to complete the technical output of the production and assembly of buses in Pakistan, and then realize the speed of 160 kilometers per hour in my country. For the first time, the product + technology combination of railway passenger cars went to sea.
Jacob pointed out that CRRC Tangshan had invited 25 Pakistan Railways technicians, including him, to China for training before the passenger cars were exported, and Lei Song was their trainer. During the 22-day training process, the Chinese teachers not only imparted various theoretical knowledge, but also took us to visit the manufacturing workshop of Chinese railway passenger cars and learned the advanced technology of manufacturing passenger cars. Jacob said: "The railway passenger cars made in China are really fast and advanced!"
