Maglev Trains

The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has claimed that its new magnetically levitated (maglev) train has surpassed its previous record of 623 kilometres per hour during tests in a low-vacuum tube just 2 km long.

China has introduced a maglev train, the fastest ground vehicle globally, that "levitates" above the track with no contact between body and rail.

China unveiled a maglev train capable of a top speed of 600 kph on Tuesday, state media said.

MagLev trains are only used in China, Japan and South Korea and will likely see the light of day only in about a decade.

China has unveiled a prototype for a new high-speed maglev train that is capable of hitting speeds of 620 kilometers per hour.

The pod is propelled by magnetic levitation, a type of technology already used in MagLev trains in China which can achieve speeds of up to 480 kmph.

Six firms including two offshore companies have evinced interest to partner with Indian Railways for developing levitation based train systems.

Japan's state-of-the-art maglev train clocked a new world speed record today in a test run near Mount Fuji, smashing through the 600 kilometre (373 miles) per hour mark, as Tokyo races to sell the technology abroad.

Known for its prowess in high-speed rail travel, Japan set a world record with its state-of-the-art Maglev train recently. The record saw the Maglev - short for magnetic levitation - cross the 600Km/h mark on a test-run in Yamanashi Prefecture just outside of Tokyo.

A Chinese locomotive company has rolled out the country's first home-made magnetically levitated (maglev) train that creates less pollution than the conventional ones and ideal for transport in the urban and ecologically fragile tourist areas.
