CRH380A Train, China Train Passenger The Fastest Train

A Chinese passenger train broke the world speed record after driving at speeds over 300 miles per hour.

Speed ​​record was set for trial in the path that has not been opened between Beijing and Shanghai, according to Xinhua News Agency.

Achieve 302 miles per hour (486 kph) were recorded the fastest speed train by train without any modification of conventional commercial.

 

He reached a top speed on a segment of the path along the 1318 kilometers (824 miles) between the City of Zaozhuang in Shandong Province and Bengbu City in Anhui Province, Xinhua said.

A new world record was achieved during testing for the train called CRH380A, just months after a train broke the record of the same model after reaching a top speed of 416.6 kilometers per hour.

However, although recorded two records since September, the Chinese railway officials said they want to reach speeds of over 312mph (500kpm)

The new lane will be opened in 2012 and will make the travel time between the capital city of Beijing and Shanghai to live half the current travel time to five hours

This project cost U.S. $ 32.5 billion and is part of a massive government effort to link many Chinese cities with high-speed rail and also reduces the density of population on a track that is widely used.

However, although the speed was impressive, another type of train has been clocked faster.

A French TGV train specially modified reached 357.2 mph (574.8 kph) during tests in 2007, while the Japanese magnetic train speeding 361 mph (581 kph) in 2003.

The importance of time in the field of economy makes the importance of transportation to minimize the fastest such time.
