kick the bogies of的意思

Suqi

老师，您好。请问下文的Kick the bogies of怎么理解呢？查词典也查不着~~~

It is a document that should be required reading for any foreign manufacturer doing business in China, a reminder they are dealing with a nation that is no longer willing to be a technology follower and is able to use the allure of its vast market to catch up.

International train companies are already learning this lesson the hard way. Only a few years ago Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Germany’s Siemens, France’s Alstom and Canada’s Bombardier all dreamed of winning a leading role in China’s high-speed rail sector.

Instead, it is state-owned manufacturers that dominate China’s $23bn high-speed rail market, and are now also competing for international contracts – as highlighted by California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s visit to Shanghai this month to kick the bogies of a China-built “harmony express”.——The Financial Times

谢谢老师~~

谢谢老师~~不过加上kick又是什么意思呢？
这句话的参考译文是：美国加州州长阿诺德•施瓦辛格(Arnold Schwarzenegger)本月访问上海，试坐中国制造的“和谐号”就突显了这一点。
PS：原来牛津词典这么好，学到好多短语和搭配~~以后多用这个~~

不知是否可以理解为“去除恐惧”（亲近）。

嗯~~觉得这样才能说得通~~
应该是中国高铁发展速度太快，外界担忧安全无法保证。而施瓦辛格前来洽谈投资合作，间接破除了这种恐惧感（bogies）。（是不是演绎太多了……）谢谢老师~~
