China’s new high-speed maglev train, with a designed top speed of 600 kilometers per hour, rolls off the production line in Qingdao, East China’s Shandong Province, yesterday. The self-developed train is currently the world’s fastest ground vehicle available. It can travel with two to 10 carriages, each holding more than 100 passengers. Filling the speed gap between planes and high-speed trains, it provides the best solution for trips within the range of 1,500 kilometers.Xinhua |
