context_page_description: The CRH3 Hexie is a version of the Siemens Velaro high-speed train used in China on the Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway line, Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Zhengzhou-Xi'an Passenger Dedicated Line and the Shanghai–Nanjing intercity railway. It is capable of service speed of 380 km/h as the very similar Velaro E used in Spain, but, similarly to the Sapsan, it is 300 mm wider to take advantage of a more generous structure gauge and thus be able to fit in more seats in a 2+3 layout.
context_section_description: The CRH3A is based on CJ1 (which in itself is derived from the CRH380B/BL/CL) and CRH5. It was designed for operation on passenger dedicated lines and intercity railways at speeds between 160-250km/h. The first sets where unveiled for public service on December 6, 2017 on the Xi'an–Chengdu HSR which opened a few days later.
