China has grabbed yet another major export order to sell its high-speed trains as a Chinese company today said that it has clinched a deal to sell 10 inter-city bullet trains to Malaysia.
China’s CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive said that the trains, with 4G network coverage and eco-friendly equipment, will be used on a 900-km railway in Malaysia.
The trains will run at an average speed between 140 to 160 km per hour. The first train is scheduled to be delivered in two years, and the rest nine months later, state-run Xinhua news agency reported quoting the agreement.
The firm had sold 38 bullet trains to Malaysia in 2010, which was the first export of China-made bullet trains, the report said.
