With a workforce of 113,000 laying down an average of 724 meters of track every day, the Beijing-Shanghai Express is China’s largest building project in recent history, and a major feature of the country’s recent stimulus
package
.

Two keys to success: safety and reliability

KONE ’s excellent safety record around the world was a major plus point in helping it win the contract. With a high volume of passengers every day, malfunctions can cause frustrations and
unwelcome delays. KONE offered reliable solutions complemented by extensive support services, including a highly responsive and qualified maintenance team on hand 24 hours a day.

Making getting around easy for everybody

The railway isn’t the only new route in the area: since the stimulus package was published, 20,000
kilometers of road have been also built. With new paths forged from the country to the city, more
people will be traveling than ever before. Thanks to its leading technical expertise, KONE was able
to deliver reliable solutions in even the most remote areas, making the Beijing–Shanghai Express
the most comfortable, people-friendly way to travel between the two cities.
