China is developing new bullet trains with a speed up to 400 kmph besides researching on the next generation magnetic-levitation train with a top speed of 600 kmph, a Chinese official said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are now focusing on how to link TV signals to trains so that passengers will be able to enjoy films on window-turned screens,\u201d Ding Rongjun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering was quoted as saying by the state-run Xinhua news agency.<\/p>\n
He also said China was carrying out research on the next generation magnetic-levitation (meglev) trains which have a top speed of 600 kmph.<\/p>\n
A permanent magnet drive system has been added to trains and is undergoing assessment, Ding said, adding that automatic and unmanned drive technology will be used in the future.<\/p>\n
Maximum speed of China\u2019s bullet trains increased to 350 kmph when the Fuxing (Rejuvenation) bullet trains started operation between Beijing and Shanghai on September 21, 2017.<\/p>\n
The Fuxing trains are a substantial upgrade on the previous Hexie (Harmony) bullet trains. The Fuxing train is more spacious and energy-efficient, with longer service life and better reliability, Xinhua reported.<\/p>\n
China started to run its first 350-kmph high speed train between Beijing and Tianjin in August 2008 and opened at least three more such lines nationwide in the following years.<\/p>\n
The speed of bullet trains was reduce to 250 kmph to 300 kmph after a major accident in July 2011. Forty people were killed and over 190 injured when two high-speed trains travelling on the Yongtaiwen railway line collided on a viaduct in the suburbs of Wenzhou in Zhejiang province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
