History

Predecessors

The parent company of the predecessors and current direct parent entity of Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric, Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute, was found in 1959 by the Ministry of Railways.[5] (now known as CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Co., Ltd., formerly CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co., Ltd., abb. CRRC ZELRI; subsidiary of listed company CRRC).[3]

In 2002, Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute was 51% owned by CSR Group and CNR Group, the duopoly of the Chinese market. The ratio was set immediately after the controls of the duopoly were transferred from the Ministry of Railways to State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). Both SASAC and the ministry were entities of the State Council of the People's Republic of China.[6]: 70 

The institute had founded Zhuzhou Times Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 株洲时代电子技术有限公司, "Times Electronic" for short) on 28 December 1992, which became a subsidiary of Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric in 2005, for 90% share capital.[6]: 72  Another subsidiary of the institute, "Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute, Ningbo Branch", was found on 4 February 1992.[6]: 17  The Ningbo Branch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric also in 2005.[6]: 72 

Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric

On 26 September 2005 Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric Co., Ltd. was incorporated as "company limited by shares" (Chinese: 股份有限公司; function similar to public limited company), CSR Group injected Times Electronic, CSR Zhuzhou Institute Ningbo Branch and other assets into the company as share capital.[6] On 20 June 2006 the Ningbo company was re-incorporated as a limited company as Ningbo CSR Times Sensor Technology Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 宁波南车时代传感技术有限公司, now known as Ningbo CRRC Times Transducer Technology Co., Ltd., previously incorporated under the Law on Industrial Enterprises Owned by the Whole People in 1992)

In December 2006, Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange,[6] a year before the listing of the intermediate parent company CSR Corp., Ltd.

Followed by the merger of ultimate parent company CSR Group with CNR Group to form CRRC Group (as well as their listed subsidiaries CSR Corp. Ltd. and China CNR Corp., Ltd. to form CRRC Corp., Ltd.) in 2015, Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric was renamed to Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric on 10 March 2016.[2]: 69  The company remained as a separate listed company without privatization nor merger by share swap.
