China's first hybrid bullet train has finished debug and is ready to conduct a test, according to CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicle Co. on Thursday.
With a maximum operating speed of 160 km per hour, it is the first train developed by China which uses two or three power sources.
The project will meet the needs of trains running on both electrified railway and non-electrified railway.
According to a plan, by 2020, electrified lines will account for 60 percent of the nations' railway lines, with more than 50 percent being double track. Non-electrified railways will still account for a large proportion of railway lines in the long run.
