China's fastest train maker in the world

The bullet train at 380 km / h is expected to run on the Beijing-Shanghai railway, which will shorten the travel time between the two cities from five to about four hours.

Zhang Shuguang, deputy chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways, said the ship would be developed in the country at the highest speed of any train in the world. When completed, this route will increase the competitiveness of the railway sector compared to aviation.

China used to run at 350 km / h on the Beijing-Shanghai route, on a 1,318-kilometer stretch.

"The construction of the new super speed train is technologically feasible," said Zhang Shuguang.

China has set up a comprehensive system of manufacturing super-speed trains, from basic principles, design, manufacture, maintenance to operation.

A few years ago, the country imported a technology to build a train with a speed of 200-250 km / h from France, Japan and Canada. To date, with the support of technology from Siemens Group of Germany, they have switched to manufacture ships of 350 km / h.

It is expected that the new expressway will be completed after 4 years, and come into operation in 2012.
