CRRC Erqi Culture and Technology (中车二七文化科技（北京）有限公司) is the culture-technology subsidiary of CRRC Group, the state rail-vehicle manufacturer, and the developer of the group’s digital employees “Che Xiaozhao” and “Che Xiaozhang” (车小赵、车小张), which are in the 典型数字人案例 section of the four-ministry 2025 metaverse typical-cases list.
The company is young and heavily capitalised for its size: incorporated on 23 May 2024 in Fengtai, Beijing, on the site of the former Erqi locomotive works, it is a wholly state-owned single-shareholder company with fifty million yuan registered and paid in, legal representative Lan Yuzhen (兰玉贞). CRRC’s own materials describe it as a key second-tier wholly-owned subsidiary, and its registered business runs to science outreach, cultural exchange, exhibition services and cultural-venue management — the profile of a company built to run the group’s cultural and public-facing assets.
The two digital employees are deployed where that profile predicts: they provided multilingual interpretation and Q&A at the 12th World High Speed Rail Congress and the 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo, hosted the group’s own science-and-technology innovation congress and an industrial AI forum, and serve as digital docents in the new CRRC Sifang culture and technology museum. The customer for this work is the parent group itself — the familiar pattern of a conglomerate’s virtual-being unit serving in-house — and the four-ministry case list credits the development to this company rather than to the group.
A press variant of the name exists: financial coverage of the Beijing case-list results writes 北京中车二七文化科技有限公司, reordering the registered 中车二七文化科技（北京）有限公司. The registered form is what this record keys, and the sibling 中车北京二七机车有限公司 — the locomotive company with the active Weibo presence — is a different legal person that should not absorb these mentions.
