Track Traffic Plays an Important Role in the Olympic Games Ahead

To address the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the People's Government of Beijing Municipality hosted an investment and project promotion conference in April 2004. What becomes most noticeable is the project for four newly built metro lines — total length 103.54km; 87 stations; total investment of RMB 50 billion.
Obviously, Beijing's metro construction will reach a new climax. It is anticipated the total length of metro and light rail of the city will surpass 200km by 2008.

China`s Urban Track Traffic ---in a Stable Grouwth

Apart from Beijing's limited metro lines in those early days, the vast majority of China's urban metro development was unveiled in the 90's. Within a mere 15 years, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou consequently have their own newly constructed metro and light rail lines in operation. Predictably, metro line will also be officially operating in Shenzhen, Nanjing and Chongqing by 2005. The respective constructions in Wuhan, Tianjin and Qingdao are underway while constructions are progressively being planned in Shenyang, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xian and so on.
The increasing urban population makes ground transportation improbably viable to satisfy development needs. With track traffic inevitably gains foothold in larger cities, it is the country’s development policy to "steadily foster the sector’s growth through resolute localization, meanwhile, acclaiming international cooperation". Recently, there are some cities welcome international investors to take part in the relevant investment, construction and operation.

Formation of Regional Economics - Intercity Track Traffic on top of the Agenda

China's phenomenal economic growth produces three formidable economic zones, namely Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Bay Economic Zone. The distance amongst the majority cities of each economic zone is within 300km. Thus, construction of intercity hi-speed rail transit with speed of around 300km/hr will greatly reduce the traveling time among cities, which in turn will be advantageous to further integrate and jointly develop the region economy. Indeed, the 3 big economic zones are all launching intercity traffic track plan and construction will presumably reach a climax in the coming decade.

China's Metro Network Achieving Massive Scale
— Issues on Safety, Monitoring and Maintenance Gain Significance

Up to now, cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and so forth have metro lines in operation with total length over 150km. The respective Metro Line 1 in cities namely Shenzhen, Nanjing and Chongqing will also be officially operating by 2005. Safety and protection as well as examination and maintenance of the respective equipment in underground track traffic will be on top of the agenda.

The Most Old-Line Exhibition of China's modern track traffic industry

Metro Expo, a unique exhibition specialized on China's metro sector, was firstly introduced in 1989. Its first inception in Guangzhou played an important role in the construction of Guangzhou Metro. Since then, the Expo has specially been held in Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Dalian to associate with their track traffic construction. Apparently, Metro Expo is growing along with China's urban track traffic development.
The major and exemplary exhibitors (in alphabetical order): 3M, ABB, Alcatel, Alstom, Bombardier, Changchun Car Company, China National Railway, Signal & Comm. Corp., Knorr-Bremse, Korea Rolling Stock Industries Association and their member companies, MTR Corporation Ltd. (Hong Kong), Nanjing Puzhen Rolling Stock Works, Samsung, Shunde Special Transformer Works, Siemens, Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Works, etc.

The Largest Concentration of China's Track Traffic Professionals

Gaining attendance of oceans of visitors during the three-day event, the exhibition has promised to be an essential annual gathering of the industry’s top professionals.
Professional visitors, ranging from chief representatives from those cities that are under-planned or under-constructed metro & light rail transit constructions as well as their material procurement officers to delegates from the railway departments, equipment suppliers and buyers... etc. are anticipated to view the latest technological sublime from the exhibitors who are prestigious multinational corporations from home and abroad.
