The Berlin Exhibition Center was crowded with people, and the CRRC booth was packed with people. On September 22, 2026, the 15th Berlin International Rail Transit Technology Exhibition opened, and CRRC unveiled three real trains in one breath, the most eye-catching of which was the VELLINK intelligent subway train equipped with embodied intelligence.

The appearance of the actual car attracted onlookers

At the exhibition site, CRRC released three real trains: VELLINK digital integrated subway train, VELFORCE hydrogen fuel cell locomotive, and MAGIX intelligent flat car, and officially launched the VELLINK urban rail vehicle brand overseas. As a representative model, VELLINK has applied embodied intelligent technology for the first time, deploying multiple sensors throughout the vehicle to identify road conditions in real time, judge anomalies, and warn of faults, reducing operation and maintenance costs. Compared to traditional urban rail vehicles, the vehicle has reduced weight by about 18% and overall energy consumption by over 10%. Its industrial design has won the International iF Design Award, and features such as panoramic floor to ceiling windows, starry sky roof, and rotatable seats enhance the travel experience.

Embodied intelligence, true kung fu

The outdoor exhibition area showcases the VELORCE new energy locomotive simultaneously. The 2000 kW hydrogen fuel cell hybrid locomotive adopts dual stack parallel technology, with an output power of 400 kW. Hydrogenation only takes 15 to 20 minutes, and the hydrogen utilization rate exceeds 98%. It has the ability to recognize 360 degree panoramic environments and make independent decisions. The MAGIX intelligent flat car, specially developed for multimodal transportation, has a self weight of only 17 tons and a load capacity of 73 tons, combining the advantages of modularity, automation, and greenness. VELLINK is equipped with embodied intelligence for the first time in the world, endowing trains with life like capabilities of intelligent perception, intelligent decision-making, and intelligent interaction, making urban rail transport capacity allocation more scientific and efficient.

Green and beneficial travel throughout the entire chain

VELLINK is equipped with a cloud edge collaborative intelligent architecture, which integrates three major systems: intelligent operation, passenger service, and real-time monitoring. The control host is streamlined by 50%, the vehicle wiring is optimized by 30%, and the power efficiency is improved by about 9%. The large-scale application of new materials such as carbon fiber has reduced the weight of the entire vehicle by about 18%, achieved a comprehensive energy saving rate of over 10%, and reduced carbon emissions throughout the entire lifecycle by about 15%. In terms of human centered design, the panoramic floor to ceiling windows and starry sky roof enhance the experience, the transparent area of the passenger compartment windows increases by 40%, and the passenger capacity is increased by about 14%; The floating floor combined with vibration and noise reduction materials reduces the overall noise of the vehicle by 3 decibels.Editor/Min Jing
