China unveiled the fastest train in the world (4 photos + 2 videos)
What can I say, China is a big country, and people have little time, so they have to master the fastest possible movement in space and time at an accelerated pace.
According to the latest official data, the length of China's operating high-speed railways has reached about 47,000 km, connecting the country's largest cities.
According to the state news agency Xinhua, the high-speed CR400 Fuxing (HSR), which reaches speeds of up to 350 km/h, is currently in active use. But the geniuses of engineering thought decided that this is slow. And they developed a prototype of the CR450.
It looks terribly futuristic.
This beauty reached a test speed of 450 km/h, and its key performance indicators - operating speed, energy consumption, interior noise level and braking distance - set a new international standard. Well, if you believe the local media.
According to China State Railway Group Co (China Railways), the new model will further reduce travel time and improve connectivity, making travel more convenient and efficient for the country's vast number of passengers.
Everything is being done now to put the CR450 into commercial service as quickly as possible.
