Made-in-China goods to be seen everywhere at Rio 2016 Olympics

The 2016 Summer Olympics will be held soon in Rio de Janeiro. Although Brazil and China are 11 time zones apart and it takes 25 hours for the fastest flight to cover the distance, the Rio Olympics are by no means far away from China. From sports venues to the metro system, from sports clothing to the mascots, Made-in-China goods will be seen in every corner of Rio.

Metro Line 4, the largest infrastructure project associated with the 2016 Rio Olympics, goes into operation on August 1. Running on the tracks will be high-quality, low-failure trains manufactured by China’s Changchun Railway Vehicles Company Limited (CRVC).

In order to accommodate the Brazilian buyer’s requirements, CRVC incorporated a series of special design elements. The train bodies are made of stainless steel to resist the high humidity, while they are equipped with heavy-duty air conditioners to cope with the hot weather. All cars will also contain security cameras.

 “Made-in-China trains have been operating on Rio’s metro lines 1 and 2 for several years. The Rio government and citizens are 100 percent satisfied, so we will mostly stick to Chinese trains for the Olympic line,” said Rodrigo Vieira, Transportation Secretary of Rio de Janeiro.

The Rio Olympic Village will be the largest ever of its kind, and Made-in-China engineering machinery is making great contributions to its construction. On the construction site of the main venue, the logos of Sany, XCMG, Zoomlion and other Chinese engineering equipment brands can be seen here and there. Currently, Sany, XCMG and Liugong cranes account for more than 80 percent of the local market. In particular, Sany cranes have achieved a 37 percent market share in Rio, leading industry peers in this distinction for three consecutive years.
