CRRC Datong Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. (CRRC Datong) is a first-tier subsidiary of CRRC Corporation Limited and one of China's core bases for the research, development, and manufacturing of electric locomotives. It is the first large-scale railway locomotive enterprise established in New China, founded in 1954.
Over the past 70-plus years, more than 12,000 high-horsepower mainline locomotives of various models have rolled off its production lines, providing an inexhaustible source of traction power for the rapid development of China's railway industry. At the same time, it has deeply engraved the honor of "National Power" into the land of Shanxi, inspiring the company to forge ahead on the path toward building a respected world-class CRRC.
At present, CRRC Datong is the chain-leading enterprise of Shanxi Province's high-end equipment manufacturing industry chain, possessing a national-level enterprise technology center. Its electric locomotive products and services across different power ratings cover all areas of China's railway passenger and freight transport. Meanwhile, CRRC Datong is also a supplier of core components for China's high-speed EMUs. Its pantographs, high-voltage electrical equipment, main transformers, and other key components of various models, along with technical services, are widely used in "Fuxing" high-speed EMUs and urban rail transit equipment. Since 2021, CRRC Datong, looking toward the future and actively implementing the "dual carbon" strategy, has successively developed hydrogen-powered locomotives and energy-storage locomotives of different power ratings, and has successfully achieved hydrogen-power upgrades of traditional diesel locomotives, attaining pedigree and industrialization achievements in the field of new-energy rail transit equipment development.
Upholding the mission of "Connecting the World, Benefiting Mankind" and focusing on CRRC's new industrial development pattern of "dual tracks and dual clusters," CRRC Datong is committed to providing global customers with rail transit equipment system solutions. Riding the momentum of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the company's heavy-haul locomotive products have been continuously delivered to the European market in batches, serving as the primary power source for "China-Europe Railway Express" traction both domestically and internationally.
At the same time, CRRC Datong is also actively making contributions in the fields of mining equipment, environmental protection industry, and smart cities. It has successfully developed fully domestically-produced 100-ton, 200-ton, and 300-ton class electric drive mining dump trucks, which can better meet the needs of green development of global mineral resources and have now entered overseas markets. The nation's first electrified highway and mining transport system, led by the company, has achieved commercial implementation, providing a "China Solution" for effectively addressing the global technical challenge of energy-saving and carbon-reducing highway transport.
CRRC Datong's environmental protection industry is flourishing. Its environmental protection system solutions for rural sewage treatment and industrial waste gas disposal, with fully independent intellectual property rights, have achieved outstanding results in multiple cities. Meanwhile, its high-tech environmental protection materials, represented by activated carbon technology development, have achieved continuous exports to more than ten overseas markets worldwide.
Facing the new era, CRRC Datong is shouldering the responsibility of building the "Made in China" national brand, gathering new momentum for the enterprise's march toward internationalization, sincerely sharing with customers the industrial advantages of high-end equipment manufacturing and the concept of green development, and carrying the human dream of "shared beauty and universal harmony" into an even brighter future.
