The EU Commission is investigating the Chinese railway manufacturer CRRC Qingdao Sifang Locomotive. The aim is to find out whether it is undercutting European manufacturers with the help of state subsidies. On Friday, Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton announced an investigation into the Chinese state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) subsidiary. Specifically, the investigation concerns an order for 20 electric trains in Bulgaria. The investigation could result in CRRC Qingdao Sifang Locomotive not being awarded this contract.
