China's newly-built "Fuxing" bullet trains completed their first commercial trip from Beijing to Shanghai on Monday, at a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and a max speed of 400. All of the components corresponding to key technologies in the new model are produced in China, according to the National Railway Administration (NRA).

This kind of bullet train is also known as an electric multiple unit (EMU). The first train, CR400AF, departed from Beijing South Railway Station at 11:05 a.m. bound for Shanghai, and the second train, CR400BF, left Shanghai's Hongqiao Station for the capital at the same time. “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.
