The '''CRH5''' [[Hexie (train)|Hexie]] ({{zh|s=和谐号|t=和諧號|p=Héxié Hào|l=Harmony}}) is an [[electric multiple unit]] high-speed train in use with [[China Railway High-speed]] in the northern regions of the [[People's Republic of China]]. The CRH5 is based on the [[FS Class ETR 600|ETR-600]] [[New Pendolino]] used in Italy.

The CRH5 are non-tilting trains, developed for the Chinese Railways and whose technology has been transferred to local manufacturers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.infrastructurist.com/2009/11/20/meet-the-train-makers-part-6-china/ |title=Meet the Train Makers, Part 6: China » INFRASTRUCTURIST |access-date=2010-11-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100228140422/http://www.infrastructurist.com/2009/11/20/meet-the-train-makers-part-6-china/ |archive-date=2010-02-28 }}</ref> The CRH5 operate steadily at {{convert|250|km/h|0}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.chinacnr.com/LISTS/product/_MAINPAGE/product/default2.aspx?classid=406 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923202826/http://www.chinacnr.com/LISTS/product/_MAINPAGE/product/default2.aspx?classid=406 |archive-date=2015-09-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.trainfanz.com/trains_electric_locomotive-english-3-CRH5.htm |title=我们的火车站-火车库-内燃机车 |access-date=2010-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717083751/http://www.trainfanz.com/trains_electric_locomotive-english-3-CRH5.htm |archive-date=2011-07-17 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.chinacartimes.com/2007/09/23/they-call-it-harmonious-chinese-bullet-trains/ |title=&#124; They call it Harmonious – Chinese Bullet Trains &#124; China Car Times - China Auto News |access-date=2010-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212034248/http://www.chinacartimes.com/2007/09/23/they-call-it-harmonious-chinese-bullet-trains/ |archive-date=2013-02-12 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Variants==

=== CRH5A ===
In 2004, the Ministry of Railway in China contracted [[Alstom]] and [[Changchun Railway Vehicles|CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles]] to produce 60 sets of the train with a maximum speed of {{convert|250|km/h|0|abbr=on}}. They were ordered around the same time as the [[Regina (train)|Regina]]-based [[China Railways CRH1|CRH1A]] and the [[Shinkansen]]-based [[China Railways CRH2|CRH2A]]. These trains have been given the designation CRH5A. 30 additional sets were ordered in 2009 and 20 additional sets were ordered in 2010 to complete the current fleet operating on China's northern and eastern lines.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qizhong7.com/info/detail/4-4161.html|title=四方所同长春轨道客车股份有限公司获2亿CRH5型动车组大订单-中国起重机吊车网|website=Qizhong7.com|access-date=15 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303215609/http://www.qizhong7.com/info/detail/4-4161.html|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://news.xinmin.cn/rollnews/2010/10/13/7194620.html |title=中国北车 签订总额达52亿元重大合同_新闻_新民网 |access-date=2010-12-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707053912/http://news.xinmin.cn/rollnews/2010/10/13/7194620.html |archive-date=2011-07-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref> On April 26, 2011, the MOR ordered an additional 30 sets.

As to the initial 60 sets, the first three were manufactured by [[Alstom]]'s factory in Italy, and the next six 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.
[[File:China Rail Bullet Train (9870756304).jpg|thumb|The original blue paint of the imported car CRH5-001A has been changed to white.]]
The first train (CRH<sub>5</sub>-001A) departed from [[Savigliano]] port, Italy on December 11, 2006 and arrive at [[Dalian]] port on January 28, 2007. The first CRH5A set made by CNR Changchun (CRH<sub>5</sub>-010A) was 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 eight cars. The initial 12 sets (CRH<sub>5</sub>-001A ～ CRH<sub>5</sub>-012A) have one first-class seating car (ZY), six second-class seating cars (ZE), and one second-class seating/dining car (ZEC). The subsequent sets have two first-class seating cars (ZY) and six second-class seating cars (ZE).

The CRH5A trains experienced a number of failures in early stages. The failures were attributed to new technologies introduced on CRH5A and a relatively short trial run before the first delivery <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aboter.com/enread/article/view4539.html |title=New bullet train may have some problems |access-date=2010-01-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303014711/http://www.aboter.com/enread/article/view4539.html |archive-date=2012-03-03 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.japanprobe.com/2007/05/21/chinese-bullet-train-suffering-from-theft-vandalism/ |title=Chinese Bullet Train Suffering from Theft & Vandalism &#124; Japan Probe |access-date=2010-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091017195724/http://www.japanprobe.com/2007/05/21/chinese-bullet-train-suffering-from-theft-vandalism/ |archive-date=2009-10-17 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
