The CRH6 is a regional/commuter higher-speed train of the People's Republic of China. It is designed by CRRC Qingdao Sifang and will be manufactured by CRRC Nanjing Puzhen at its subsidiary, the CRRC Guangdong Jiangmen Factory. [3] Unlike other CRH types, most CRH6 trains use unique names; only very few CRH6 use Hexie (Chinese :和谐号; pinyin :Héxié hào; lit.'Harmony') as the train name.
