The spring breeze is pleasant and warm in April. On April 27, as an important infrastructure project for Asian Games Hangzhou, the first electric train of Shaoxing Metro Line 1 was launched at the intelligent manufacturing base of Hebei Beijing Railway (HBR). As the first urban rail transit line in Shaoxing, Line 1 adopts a type B2 train, grouped with 6-car (4-driver, 2-trailer), with a maximum running speed of 100km/h. It is reported that the mainline of Line 1 is planned to be commissioned before Asian Games Hangzhou in 2022. Lankwitzer cooperates with HBR to provide water-based eco-friendly paint for its complete vehicle.

The electric train coming off the line is specially designed according to the characteristics of Shaoxing city, the environmental protection, safety, and intelligence of the vehicles are fully considered in the material selection, structural design, and system assembly to ensure the vehicles operate maturely and reliably. For example, in the front appearance and interior decoration, the use of the “smile face” image represents the warm and inclusive city. Moreover, the integration of Shaoxing elements, such as the city flower “orchid”, classic painting “Wang Xizhi Catching The Goose”, and other embodiment indicating home of water, bridges, and calligraphy, not only shows the hospitality of Shaoxing for visitors all over the world but also highlights the romance and charm of this city in the Yangtze Delta.
