(260322) -- HANGZHOU, March 22, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A new energy flash butt welder for multiple scenarios works at the construction site of the Hangzhou-Deqing Suburban Railway, in east China's Zhejiang Province, March 22, 2026. At the construction site of the Hangzhou-Deqing Suburban Railway, a new energy flash butt welder for multiple scenarios was used for the first time to perform welding operations on steel rails on Sunday.

The device adopts a hybrid power mode, equipped with an intelligent energy management system, and supports a "charging while welding" mode. It can independently complete the welding of 50 rail joints once fully charged, ensuring continuous and stable construction in areas without external power sources.

The railway, connecting Yuhang District of Hangzhou City with Deqing County of Huzhou City with nine stations along the line, will further enhance the rail transit network of Hangzhou upon completion. (Xinhua/Huang Zongzhi)
