Recently, Bureau Veritas issued a certificate for CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive") in the TSI certification ceremony for its Macedonian freight electric locomotive export project. This is the first electric locomotive project of CRRC which is issued with European TSI certificate, and also the first AC drive electric locomotive which gets the TSI certificate in China.

Bureau Veritas started to carry out TSI certification for CRRC's Macedonian freight electric locomotives in September 2017 to ensure that the locomotives comply with TSI technical specifications and relevant international standards.

Bureau Veritas witnessed and evaluated the tests of locomotives in CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd., China Academy of Railway Sciences ring line and Macedonian trunk line, and finally the SB and SD certificates of TSI certification were issued for this type of locomotive in October 2019.

Mr. Chen Xihong, Deputy Chief Engineer of CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd., said: "Macedonian freight electric locomotive TSI certificate, is another strong support from Bureau Veritas during the process of our further developing and deepening the 'one belt one road 'market."
