On March 14, 2024, the Dujiangyan M-TR Tourist Passenger Line (tram) is expected to commence trial operation in April 2024. The line spans approximately 20.3 kilometers and consists of one main line and two branch lines. It connects key scenic spots such as Dujiangyan, Mount Qingcheng, and the Panda Valley with transportation hubs, running through the Sunac Cultural Tourism City. The line is projected to significantly enhance regional tourism transportation efficiency, facilitate connectivity between attractions, optimize tourist distribution, and contribute to the upgrade of Dujiangyan’s tourism services as well as the development of a low-carbon travel system.

On December 1, 2023, the first train for Shanghai's Airport Link Line of the urban rail transit system rolled off the production line. Themed "Dream of Shanghai," the train features a flowing blue and gold curve design on the exterior, with interiors that integrate technological lighting and color-blocking elements, showcasing the urban character of Shanghai and modern transportation aesthetics. This train enhances the connectivity of the Yangtze River Delta's transportation network, strengthens the radiating capacity of its hubs, and holds significant strategic importance for promoting regional integrated development.

On October 18, 2023, China’s first "Science Fiction Bus" featuring futuristic livery, moon-like surface flooring, and integrated sound, light and electric elements officially debuted at the World Science Fiction Convention held beside the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, which resembles a nebula. After the convention, the bus will be open to all citizens and integrated into Chengdu’s tourist bus service system, providing a brand-new experience for science fiction fans from all over the world.

On June 14, 2023, Shanghai Shentie unveiled for the first time a model of a Class C regional railway train designed for a speed of 160 km/h. The train is developed based on a high-speed EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) platform and deeply integrates the operational demands of regional railway transit systems. It emphasizes lightweight design and streamlined styling, balancing both aerodynamic efficiency and modern visual appeal, while the seating and interior layout cater to the needs of short-distance, high-frequency travel. This project will further strengthen the radiating capacity of Shanghai’s comprehensive transportation hub across the Yangtze River Delta region.

On June 1, 2023, Alstom announced that the first batch of high-capacity metro trains manufactured by Changchun CRRC Alstom Rail Vehicles Co., Ltd. (CARC) for Singapore is set to enter service on the city’s MRT East-West Line and North-South Line. Featuring German design, the trains fully incorporate commuter-friendly concepts: carriages are equipped with LCD screens for real-time information updates, large windows to optimize views of the urban landscape, and spacious dedicated areas for wheelchairs and strollers, significantly enhancing travel inclusivity and comfort. The deployment of these trains further solidifies Alstom’s comprehensive presence in Singapore’s rail transit system.

On March 31, 2023 , China's first full-element test system for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev achieved its inaugural levitation and run.The system, independently developed by CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd., successfully carried out its first operation, comprehensively validating key technologies such as the superconducting magnet, linear synchronous traction, inductive power supply, and cryogenic.This milestone represents a major technological breakthrough for China in the field of high-temperature superconducting maglev, laying a solid foundation for the future engineering application of superconducting maglev transportation systems.

On November 24, 2022, China's first fully independent intellectual property-protected rack railway train successfully rolled off the production line in Ziyang, Sichuan. The train adopts a dual-mode "wheel-rail + rack rail" drive system, offers diverse seating areas and large sightseeing windows, and is equipped with intelligent systems such as BeiDou/5G IoT and autonomous driving. This train fills a gap in China's rack railway sector, marking a significant breakthrough in the country's mountain rail transit equipment. It will provide innovative solutions for tourism and mountain transportation, driving the development of related industries and regional tourism.

On March 25, 2022, two brand-new CRH3A-A bullet train units completed their preparations at the Guiyang North EMU Depot and officially made their debut in Guiyang. The exterior design deeply integrates elements of Guizhou's culture: the headlight shape draws inspiration from Miao ethnic headwear, the body stripes are inspired by the "Gui Shui" (Guizhou's waters), and the luggage rack lighting incorporates the silhouette of Jiaxiu Tower. This marks the first deployment of the CRH3A-A bullet train in Guiyang, signifying a comprehensive upgrade of the transportation equipment for the Guiyang Loop Line.

On January 6, 2022, the new Olympic-themed Fuxing smart bullet train "Rui Xue Ying Chun" (Auspicious Snow Welcomes Spring), designed with the participation of the industrial design team from Southwest Jiaotong University, officially entered service. The train features a bionic head design optimized through aerodynamics to achieve lower resistance and energy consumption. The exterior paintwork incorporates elements such as snowflakes and gradient icy blue tones, echoing the Winter Olympics theme. The deployment of this train marks a significant breakthrough in China's high-speed rail sector in integrating industrial design with technical performance.
