As the 2026 Spring Festival travel rush kicks off today, China’s cutting-edge Fuxing Intelligent EMU trains are getting a high-tech refresh 💫. Dubbed a 'full-body spa,' this maintenance ritual ensures the world-class high-speed rail network stays sleek, safe, and ready for millions of travelers.
At Guangzhou’s EMU maintenance depot, robots and AI take center stage 🤖. Each train gets scrubbed every 48 hours or after 9,900 km of operation – but forget old-school car washes! The new fully automated system uses train ID recognition and water-saving tech to complete the job in just 5 minutes ⏱️, down from over an hour previously.
🚨 Why it matters: With over 2.9 billion trips expected during this year’s Spring Festival migration, these 'spa sessions' keep China’s rail system running like clockwork – a must-see fusion of engineering and efficiency!
