The world's first intelligent control scraper conveyer was approved as having reached an internationally leading level after scientific and technological achievements appraisal on Oct 22, 2014.

Many units including China Coal Technology & Engineering Group and China Energy Investment Corporation contributed to its development.

The scraper conveyer effectively solves problems of traditional coal transmission equipment like high energy consumption, low efficiency, poor reliability and short lifespan.

A key equipment of coal exploitation and transmission, the scraper conveyer plays a significant role in promoting energy exploitation with high efficiency in a clean way, reducing production energy consumption and improving intelligentization of China's mechanical coal equipment.

China's first network control system is approved to be installed on CRH trains on Oct 22, 2014

The network control system for CRH5 trains passed technical evaluation on Oct 22, 2014 and was approved for mass installation.

Completely automated by China CNR Corporation Limited (now merged with China CSR Corporation Limited into CRRC Corporation Limited), it was the first of its kind to be mass installed on CRH trains in China.

The network control system is one of the core technologies of a railway vehicle. It is responsible for transmission, processing, storage and display of control information and fault messages.

Its domestic development was proof that core technology of China's high-speed railway trains is leaping from "Made in China" to "Created in China".
