The CRH5 is based on the ETR-600 New Pendolino used in Italy.
The CRH5 are non-tilting trains, developed for the Chinese Railways and which technology has been transferred to local manufacturers.[1] The CRH5 have a design speed of up to 200 kilometres per hour (124 mph) and now operate steadily at 250 kilometres per hour (155 mph).[2][3][4]

CRH5A
An Italian New Pendolino in Freccia Argento color scheme.
In 2004, the Ministry of Railway in China contracted Alstom and CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles to produce 60 sets of the train with a maximum speed of 250 kilometres per hour (155 mph). These trains have been given designations CRH5A, and are still the only type of the CRH5 trains. 30 additional sets were ordered in 2009 and 20 additional sets was ordered in 2010 to complete the current fleet operating on China's northern and eastern lines.[5][6] On April 26, 2011, the MOR ordered an additional 30 sets.
As to the initial 60 sets, the first three sets were manufactured by Alstom's factory in Italy, the next 6 sets were delivered in complete knock down form and assembled by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicle. The remaining 51 sets were built by CNR Changchun through technology transfer from Alstom.
The first train (CRH5-001A) departure from Savigliano port, Italy on December 11, 2006, arrive at Dalian port on January 28, 2007. the first CRH5A set made by CNR Changchun (CRH5-010A) were delivered in April, 2007.
The CRH5A sets started service from April 18, 2007, the date of the sixth national railway speed-up at the Beijing-Harbin Railway. in the following years, it opened service at the Jinan-Qingdao high speed rail and Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan high speed rail.
Each of the CRH5A set consists of 8 cars. The initial 12 sets (CRH5-001A ～ CRH5-012A) has one first-class seating cars (ZY), six second-class seating cars(ZE), and one second-class seating/dining car(ZEC). the subsequent sets has two first-class seating cars (ZY), six second-class seating cars(ZE).
The CRH5A trains met a number of failures in early stages, attributed to new technologies introduced on CRH5A and relatively short trial run before first delivery [7][8]
CIT001
On April 2, 2007, China Academy of Railway Sciences ordered a CRH5 based high-speed test train; the official name of this train set is Code Zero Comprehensive Testing Train, name code CIT001. This train is equipped with special devices to monitor the condition of the track, wheel-rail force, overhead wire, communication system and signal system. The train is painted with yellow and white color and started test run on July 1, 2007[9].
