- China is at the very top of the world, as far as the technology of not only the production of trains but also the construction of railways is concerned. I rode their train, which develops a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, in luxury and quality that I have not seen in Western Europe. As for the quality, I have no doubt that these trains are of exceptional quality. When it comes to compatibility with the railway, there is a difference between our and Hungarian networks in the contact network, that is, in the power supply source. Their contact network requires that the pantograph, the device that collects current from the network, be of a different width than is the case here. That's why when we were writing the specification for Chinese trains (it's usual for a train to have two pantographs and be of the same width), we asked for a train with four pantographs where two will be for the Hungarian width and two for our width, so that the trains we are ordering will be able to run on another network without any problems - said Bulajić.
