Two models of "China-standard" bullet trains, also known as electric multiple units (EMU), have received their official names, "Fuxing CR400AF" and "Fuxing CR400BF," according to the National Railway Administration (NRA) on Sunday.
On Monday, the two new models will come into official operation, travelling between Beijing and Shanghai, said the NRA.
EMUs are bullet trains designed by China.
All of the components corresponding to key technologies used in "Fuxing CR400AF" and "Fuxing CR400BF" are produced in China, said the NRA.

“Fuxing” means rejuvenation while “CR” stands for “China Railway,” the NRA explained. The number 400 represents the fastest speed at which the trains could travel per hour. Meanwhile, “F” indicates the special power technology the two trains are using. The NRA said that “A” and “B” represent different train makers.
In order to improve China’s railway technology, as well as meet the demand of rapid economic development, China started the EMU project in 2012 and completed the plan design in 2014.
EMUs started experimental tests in 2015 at the National Railway Test Center of the China Academy of Railway in Beijing. On August 15, 2016, the first China-standard EMU came into official operation as Train No. G8041, departing from Dalian North Railway Station to Shenyang Railway Station.
China has the world's largest railway network, totaling 22,000 kilometers by the end of 2016.
