China Northern Locomotive & Rolling Stock Industry (Group) Corporation commonly known as CNR Group was a Chinese locomotive and rolling stock manufacturer, and later holding company of China CNR.[1]
History
In 1986 the China National Railway Locomotive & Rolling Stock Industry Corporation (LORIC) was formed, comprising 35 production sites and 4 research centres. In 2002 the China Northern Locomotive & Rolling Stock Industry (Group) Corporation was spin-off from LORIC.[2] Its main competitor, the China South Locomotive and Rolling Stock Industry (Group) Corporation was formed in the same year.[3] Both CNR Group and CSR Group were also transferred from the Ministry of Railways to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council at that time.
CNR Group carried out import and export orders between 1998 and 2005 through the LORIC Import & Export Corp., Ltd.[4] The subsidiary CNR Logistic Development Corp., Ltd., established in 1998 deals with export sales of CNR vehicles and parts.[5]
