Conglin Aluminum Technology has completed the supply of aluminium carbody profiles and precision-machined components for a rail transit project involving CRRC Qingdao Sifang, one of China's largest train manufacturers.

The supplied aluminium products will be used in several parts of the train body, including roof structures, sidewalls, floor sections, side beams and components linked to power collection systems.

According to the company, the materials are designed to support the lightweight construction and structural requirements of modern rail vehicles, including metro, suburban and intercity trains.

The project adds to Conglin Aluminum's long-standing relationship with CRRC, which has used the company's aluminium products in a range of railway applications over the years.
