It took a couple of years, but the world’s new fastest train has finally pulled into the station.

China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation unveiled the production version of its maglev bullet train in Qingdao on Tuesday, reports Reuters. State media says the train has a top speed of 373 mph, or close to half the speed of sound (767.29 mph).

That speed doesn’t just make it the fastest train in the world, it makes it the fastest land vehicle period. The bullet train is able to travel at such high speeds because of magnetic levitation. The technology uses electro-magnetic force to levitate the body of the vehicle less than two inches from the rails and propel it forward along the tracks. By riding on a cushion of air, friction is drastically reduced, allowing it to travel faster than traditional trains where wheels and rails are constantly in contact. Although China has made use of the technology for a couple decades now, it’s only ever been used at very limited scale.

China Railway says its bullet train will drastically help cut down on travel time. At top speed, the vehicle will be able to complete the 754-mile trip between Beijing and Shanghai in just two-and-a-half hours, Reuters notes. That same trip takes just over three hours by plane, five-and-a-half hours by current high-speed rail options or 12 hours by car. That could make the train an especially attractive travel option for business travelers in the country.

It’s currently unclear when the new bullet train, which can pull between two and 10 passenger cars, will go into operation. The vehicle that the company showed off on Tuesday is the finished article, though, unlike the prototype the company unveiled in the spring of 2019.

Of course, the train’s record might not stand for long. The Central Japan Railway Company is currently testing a maglev train it says will be able to top out at 375 mph, according to New Atlas. But that isn’t expected to make its debut until 2027 at the earliest. That gives China plenty of time to refine and upgrade its bullet train and push its top speed even higher. Let the ultra-high-speed bullet train wars begin.

While our president is threatening everyone to start rearing cattle or they die

Flood will still destroy it

over speed go kill me abeg i no dey enter

No doubt China is the global leader in transportation.

EdoFirstBorn:
Flood will still destroy it

you reason like your president..

Have come across great minds in Nigeria over the years and i can tell you there is nothing these countries can do that nigerians cant do, we dont just have the opportunity they have...
And it is even sad that in this 21st century, our leaders still reason like primitives

You are so right brother!
But guess what? 2023 is around the corner already, does it look like anything is gonna change?
Until the youth realize that everything starts and ends with Governance, that we cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the old men because they have the money, nothing is gonna change!

600km per hour....
That's like traveling from Lagos to east in an hour

It's even faster than a Plane.

Ogbenia:


It's even faster than a Plane.

Yes,it's called hyperloop.
The train is said to be the world's
fastest maglev transportation system to be rolled off the
assembly line.
This is the kinda train our government should be negotiating for not this obsolete and archaic locomotive train

Lagos to Mardugari is roughly 1200km,with this train in Nigeria, you can travel within these cities in just 2hours.
Lagos to Kano is 800km,in 1hr 20mins you are in Kano.


I watched a documentary on cgtn;the longest distance in China spans between Beijing to Urumqi(Xinjiang), which is roughly 6000km.Now you can travel to Urumqi from Beijing in less than 7hours.
We still have a long way to go

6000 km? Long way to go but we will get there!

Agbo2:

You are funny,even America is still doing catch up when it comes to infrastructural and developmental stride with China, you're saying we'll get there.
Yes,we will,probably in the next 200years

Our darling president will make this possible before he leaves in 2023





IPad and igbohoe miscreants don't mention me o, if you don't want DSS to catch you.

America doing catch up with china? Your brain dey pain you... china are mile behind america in term of infrastructure and technology.

The future belong to China and Russia.

We cannot have this sort of infrastructure in Nigeria with seriously compromising other aspect of development. Let's get the diesel engine trains for now, if we can get its service across the country, it will bring down the cost of goods and services.

Impressive
