Together for the Winter Olympics, safeguarding the journey forward—celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the Kunlun Lubricants-branded Beijing–Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway’s launch!

On December 30, 2021, marked the second anniversary of the official opening and operation of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway. As the first branded special train of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, today also marks the second anniversary of the launch of the Kunlun Lubricants Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway branded special train. On January 10, 2020, the Kunlun Lubricants Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway branded train made its inaugural journey. One is a strong “Chinese name card,” and the other is an outstanding representative of a national brand; one provides modern transportation support for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, and the other is the official lubricant of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Over the past two years, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway and Kunlun Lubricants have joined forces to safeguard the Winter Olympics, establishing a window for spreading the Olympic spirit aboard the Kunlun Lubricants Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, popularizing Olympic knowledge, conveying the spirit of the Winter Olympics, promoting the Winter Olympics concept, making the Olympic spirit more deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and cheering for the Winter Olympics.
The Beijing–Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway is the world's first intelligent high-speed railway, with a maximum designed speed of 350 km/h. Passengers departing from Beijing can reach Zhangjiakou in as little as 47 minutes by taking the Beijing–Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway. With the various smart “accessories” on board, passengers can fully enjoy the convenience brought by technology during their journey.
Behind speed and comfort is the support of technology.
The high-speed train gearbox is a core component that enables high-speed, smooth operation of high-speed trains. Its manufacturing process is complex. On a high-speed train traveling at 350 kilometers per hour, the gearbox bearings rotate at 5,590 revolutions per minute. At such high speeds, the smooth operation of high-speed trains places higher demands on high-speed train gearbox oil.
Kunlun Lubricants, through the hard work and accumulated technical expertise of several generations of technicians, has developed the first gear oil product for China's standard high-speed train “Fuxing,” featuring completely independent intellectual property rights and reaching advanced international standards.
Since February 25, 2017, Kunlun Lubricants high-speed rail gearbox oil has been fully deployed on Fuxing bullet train sets;
In 2018, Kunlun Lubricants provided supporting gearbox lubricating oil for the long-formation “Fuxing” EMU trains that entered service for the first time;
In 2019, the “Kunlun Lubrication” high-speed train made its inaugural departure from Shanghai Hongqiao Station, and the high-speed train gearbox oil independently developed by Kunlun Lubrication was permanently collected and displayed by the China Railway Museum.
Kunlun Lubrication high-speed rail gearbox oil has now been used on Fuxing trains for four full years, withstanding the test of high-speed rail operation. Kunlun Lubrication high-speed rail gearbox oil broke the international monopoly, achieving China’s comprehensive catch-up with and surpassing of international high-speed rail gearbox oils. It continues to withstand rigorous tests with stable quality and strong technical capabilities, providing lubrication assurance for the safe, smooth, reliable, and long-term operation of Fuxing electric multiple-unit trains.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are drawing ever closer. Starting from January 17, 2022, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway will implement the Winter Olympics train timetable. Kunlun Lubricants, upholding the responsibility and commitment of “military-industry quality and a great power’s major equipment,” will continue to follow the Olympic hosting concepts of “green, sharing, openness, and integrity,” put into practice its three commitments of “enhancing customer experience, creating value for customers, and protecting the clear waters and green mountains,” fully fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the official lubricant supplier, and remain committed to technological innovation and independent R&D. With more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies and products, as well as more professional, high-quality, and reliable lubrication services, it will safeguard China speed and protect the Winter Olympics.
