Do You Know?

Japan’s Maglev holds the record at 603 km/h. These high-speed trains make travel faster and are energy-efficient. Tap to read in detail.

L0 Series Maglev

Japan's Maglev train holds the record at 603 km/h (375 mph). It uses superconducting magnets for propulsion.

Magnetic levitation

Uses magnetic fields for frictionless movement, enhancing speed. This eliminates contact with the track.

China’s Fuxing

Regular operational trains like Fuxing run at 350 km/h (217 mph). These are used on many Chinese routes.

Energy efficiency

Bullet trains use advanced aerodynamics and lightweight materials. This reduces energy consumption per passenger.

Reduced travel time

High speeds significantly cut travel times between cities. They connect distant urban centers quickly.

Eco-friendly

These trains produce lower emissions compared to cars and airplanes. They help in reducing the carbon footprint.
