Originally, the CRH2 was based on the E2-1000 Series Shinkansen design from Japan with the license purchased from a consortium formed of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, and Hitachi, and represents the second Shinkansen train model to be exported.
  In 2004, the Ministry of Railway in China purchased an initial 60 sets of the train from Kawasaki Heavy Industries with a maximum speed of 250 km/h. However, the newer versions of the CRH2 are not related to the E2-1000 Series despite having the same exterior shell.
context_section_description: CRH2C Stage one is a modified version of CRH2A. It has a maximum operating speed up to 300 km/h (190 mph) by replacing two intermediate trailer cars with motorized cars. Equipped with an array of the state-of-the-art technologies, including aluminum alloy body with a reduced weight, high speed turntable, high speed pantograph, and optic-fiber based integrated control system.
  Chinese MOR ordered 30 sets of CRH2C stage one, name code CRH₂-061C - CRH₂-090C. The first set, CRH₂-061C was unveiled on December 22, 2007.
  During the test on April 22, 2008, CRH₂-061C reached a top speed of over 370 km/h (230 mph) on Beijing-Tianjin high-speed rail.
  During the test on December 11, 2009, CRH₂-061C reached a top speed of 394.2 km/h (244.9 mph) on Zhengzhou-Xi'an high-speed rail.
  Together with CRH3C, the CRH2C stage one first came into service on Beijing-Tianjin Intercity high-speed rail on August 1, 2008, and all CRH2C stage one trains have been replaced by CRH3C in April, 2009. Currently, most of these trains are serving on the Shanghai-Nanjing high speed rail.
