China's high-speed rail technology has once again ushered in a major breakthrough, increasing the speed of high-speed rail to an impressive speed of 450 kilometers per hour. This technological breakthrough not only marks China's continued leadership in the field of high-speed rail, but also heralds a significant reduction in travel time between Beijing and Shanghai to just 25 hours. The successful application of this technology is expected to be officially put into use in 2025, and the first beneficiary route is the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which will make the 1,318-kilometer journey even faster.
According to the global network, all the relevant technologies of the CR450 high-speed EMU have been fully matured, indicating the feasibility of its imminent operation. This news has received the attention and ** of the famous Internet big V Hu Xijin, who praised this achievement as "too good", and pointed out that this speed is almost comparable to that of an airplane, showing the unremitting efforts of human beings in the pursuit of speed.
In June 2023, China Railway Group successfully completed the high-speed operation performance verification test of the CR450 high-speed EMU, reaching a record speed of 453 kilometers per hour, demonstrating the strong strength and potential of China's high-speed rail technology. The CR450 is not only amazingly fast, but also reaches a new level of safety, environmental protection, energy saving and intelligence, and is one of the achievements of major scientific research projects identified in China's 14th Five-Year Plan.
Although the speed of China's high-speed rail is already among the highest in the world, the emergence of high-speed rail EMUs with a speed of 450 kilometers per hour will undoubtedly further consolidate China's leading position in the development of global high-speed rail technology. The application of this technology will not only further shorten the distance between cities, improve traffic efficiency, but also provide passengers with a faster and more comfortable travel experience.
Although there is some controversy about whether it is necessary to further speed up, in the long run, the continuous progress and innovation of high-speed rail technology is undoubtedly an important driving force to promote the development of the transportation sector and promote the overall economic and social progress. With the continuous breakthrough and application of high-speed rail technology, the future of travel will become more diverse and efficient.
