Variants

All variants of the Fuxing train are compatible. The EMU models share the same standard required by China Railway Corporation, hence the name China Standardized EMU. Fuxing train models can be identified by the designation. No letter after the dash indicates the standard 8-car configuration. A indicates a 16-car configuration; B indicates 17-car configurations; C indicates 8-car multiple units with automatic train operation capability; G indicates 8-car sandstorm and cold climate resistant trainset; and Z indicates 8-car configuration with redesigned interior and exterior. Some variants have two letters indicating combined configuration, such as type GZ being the train set featuring extreme weather resistant capability (type G) and redesigned interior and exterior (type Z).^[6]
