On June 23, Shuohuang Railway was awarded the Silver Medal at the 50th International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, with the Company’s independently developed intelligent heavy-haul comprehensive inspection train recognized for its technological innovation, which highlights a major milestone in China’s heavy-haul railway intelligent detection field, marking international-level authoritative recognition of China’s advanced equipment manufacturing technology.

Acting as a diagnostic system for railway infrastructure, the intelligent heavy-haul comprehensive inspection train, integrating multiple cutting-edge technologies, is a critical technological equipment for Shuohuang Railway to carry out comprehensive inspection of heavy-haul railway. Equipped with over ten advanced inspection technologies, including rail-defect detection, communication inspection, and catenary inspection, it features groundbreaking functions such as human-machine interaction, unmanned intelligent detection, and panoramic realistic display and analysis of railway infrastructure and its environment, enabling comprehensive, precise defect identification of operation status and safety early warnings for heavy-haul railway infrastructure and equipment. Notably, the vehicle introduced AI technology and optimized detection algorithms, significantly improving inspection efficiency and accuracy, thus providing a scientific basis for routine maintenance and inspection planning.

As an important corridor for transporting coal from west to east in China, Shuohuang Railway has continued to increase its investment in sci-tech innovation in recent years, and has been committed to making railway transportation more intelligent. The successful research and development of the intelligent heavy-haul comprehensive inspection train and the winning of the award are another milestone for Shuohuang Railway on the journey of sci-tech innovation, which will provide more reliable technical support for the safe operation and efficient development of heavy-haul railway.

Under the patronage of the Swiss Government, the Republic and Canton of Geneva, the City of Geneva and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva was established in 1973 and has been one of the world’s oldest and largest invention exhibitions and assessment platforms, ranking first among the world’s three major invention exhibitions due to its rigorous selection process and professional standards. In 2025, the exhibition brought together over 1,000 invention projects from 40 countries and regions worldwide, showcasing cutting-edge innovations across various fields and industries.
