The Train Simulator: CRH2A EMU Add-On adds the CRH2A, an 8-car Chinese high-speed electric multiple unit, to Train Simulator Classic. Based on the E2-1000 Series Shinkansen used by JR East, the CRH2A was built by Kawasaki and entered service in 2007. The 100-train-set fleet can reach 250 km/h and helped transform rail travel in China.

The CRH2A

The CRH2 was part of the first generation of Chinese high-speed EMUs, which drew on designs from international manufacturers. Kawasaki developed the CRH2A from the E2-1000 Series Shinkansen. The first sets were delivered in March 2006, and the fleet entered service 13 months later. Some sets were built in Japan, while others were supplied as kits for CSR Sifang to produce through technology transfer from Kawasaki, Mitsubishi and Hitachi. An initial order for 60 sets was followed by another 40 by 2010.

The CRH2A family also led to derivatives such as the 2B and 2C, which further reduced journey times. The Shinkansen/CRH2 family was also chosen as the basis for the CRH380A.
