China on Tuesday launched its own high-speed maglev train. The maximum speed of this train is 600 kmph. According to official media, it is the fastest vehicle to run on the ground.
According to China’s state-run news agency Xinhua, the new maglev transport system has been publicly launched in China’s coastal city of Qingdao. The high-speed maglev train project was started in October 2016.
A report said that in 2019, a prototype of this train with a speed of 600 kmph was made. Its successful trial took place in June 2020.
Project chief engineer Ding Sansan said that 10 coaches can be installed on this train. Each will have a capacity of 100 passengers.
He said that this train is the best solution for traveling within a radius of 1,500 km. Maglev rail wheels do not come into contact with the rail track like conventional trains.
