据了解，该项目启动后，中国中车将在芝加哥当地建厂，负责车辆的总组装。车辆设计方面，将按照美国标准进行设计，并适应芝加哥地铁小曲线、高架及严寒等特殊的运营环境。
在谈到高端装备“走出去”时，中国中车长客股份有限公司海外业务部副总经理马列表示，发达国家市场门槛高，要求十分苛刻，但必须进入。从长远看，高端装备走出去更应该面向中高端市场，这样才能真正检验并提升高端装备的竞争力。以轨道交通为例，除了布局发展中国家市场，还正在积极进入北美、以色列等高端市场。
中国广核集团国际合作开发部副总经理杨茂春表示，总体看来，目前核电已经成为和高铁匹配的“国家名片”，具备一定的国际竞争能力，特别是自主知识产权、技术认证和参考机组三大关键门槛均已实现突破，彻底消除了“走出去”的技术门槛。但他同时也表示，从外部压力看，当前全球核电市场竞争“近乎惨烈”，目前全球具备成套核电技术出口能力的企业有十几家，从技术、规模、品牌、经验和业绩看，中国企业都不具备明显优势。
此外，国际制造业巨头带来的压力比较明显。以轨道交通国际市场为例，近几年，西门子、庞巴迪等国际制造巨头纷纷选择在东南亚等人工成本低的地区建厂生产，在降低人力成本提升产品竞争力的同时，也提升了在中高端市场上与我方竞标的成功率。
新老问题交织遭遇发展瓶颈
轨道交通、核电等企业负责人普遍有一个共识：在经过了十几年的探索期之后，我国高端装备制造“走出去”正在面临新老问题交织的风险。其中，新问题包括国际巨头“打压”手段变多、“价格战”优势进一步缩小，老问题集中在核心技术缺失、对国际标准不适应、人才支撑能力差等方面。
尽管高铁、核电等高端装备具备“走出去”实力，但在核心技术领域与国际一流水平存在差距，特别是一些关键零部件和原材料，国内很难达到配套要求。很多人表示，由于在核心零部件等领域不具备定价权，经常被国际巨头“牵着鼻子走”。
今年7月初，围绕出口新加坡产品出现的问题，中车四方股份公司发布情况说明，原因是原材料出现质量问题，将进行返厂维修处理。这是我国轨道交通走向海外出现的问题之一。
