EMU with sleepers is a specialty product in China’s railway passenger transport. EMU with sleepers usually operates at night with an “evening-morning” (sunset-departure and sunrise-arrival) pattern and combines the high speed of EMU with the comfort of sleepers. Those trains operate in evening hours. Therefore, passengers’ rest time at night can be made good use of. As EMU with sleepers is a new product in the EMU system, its cost accounting and profitability analysis lack precedents and experience. China Railway is going through market-oriented reform: a ticket pricing system of high-speed rail and EMU is being launched. This system is based on the market supply and demand as well as the current competitive situation and other factors. Meanwhile, according to the global practice of EMU operation, the implementation of a market-oriented and flexible pricing system, which adapts to the market-oriented trend of high-speed rail passenger transport, can serve as an effective way to boost revenue and to enhance the competitiveness of passenger transport. This paper starts with the analysis of evening-morning EMU with sleepers, and then elaborates on the implementation and existing problems of the market-oriented pricing strategies of high-speed rail EMU with sleepers. It further puts forward a dynamic ticket price fluctuation program after summarizing the principles and methodologies of the pricing strategies. Finally, it proposes some suggestions to improve the market-oriented pricing strategies of high-speed rail EMU with sleepers, which includes refining the current ticket refunding and ticket refunding, establishing a multiple pricing system, enhancing passenger transport service quality, as well as strengthening the marketing management of passenger transport, which may serve as a guidance to improve the competitiveness of high-speed rail EMU with sleepers.
