world’s fastest train
India’s neighbor China on Sunday unveiled an updated model of its high-speed bullet train. The manufacturer of the train claims that during testing its speed reached 450 kilometers per hour. With this it has become the fastest high-speed train in the world.
There will be reduction in travel time
According to China State Railway Group Co. (China Railways), the new model, known as the CR450 prototype, will further reduce travel time and improve connectivity, making travel more convenient for passengers.
According to China State Railway Group, the CR450 is expected to significantly reduce travel times. For example the Beijing-Shanghai train journey, which currently takes 4.5 hours. Now it will reduce to just three hours.
Speed is 450 kilometers per hour
The test speed of the CR450 prototype was recorded at 450 kilometers per hour, state media reported here. It is much faster than the CR400 Fuxing high-speed rail (HSR) currently in service, which runs at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, state-run Xinhua news agency said.
The world’s largest high-speed rail network in China
The unveiling of the CR450 solidifies China’s position as a global leader in high-speed rail technology. China currently has the world’s largest high-speed rail network, with 47,000 kilometers of operational tracks connecting major cities.
