They have a high-standard corrosion-resistant design and advanced protection technology to withstand salt spray and ultraviolet radiation. 

Multiple core system products were also supplied by CRRC Qingdao Sifang Rolling Stock Research Institute (CRRC SRI) for the high-speed bullet train.

The products include a fire monitoring system, an AC/DC insulation monitoring system, a braking system, and an anti-vibration system.

All tunnels on the Jakarta-Bandung HSR were completed, as well as over 90% of the subgrade, bridge, and station civil works on the project.
