On 16 April 2015, a manned seven-car L0 series trainset reached 590 km/h (370 mph), breaking the previous world record of 581 km/h (361 mph) set by a Japanese MLX01 maglev train set in December 2003. The speed of 590 km/h was sustained for a period of 19 seconds. [24] That speed record was broken again on 21 April 2015, when a manned seven-car ...

On 16 November 2004, it also set a world record for two trains passing each other at a combined speed of 1,026 km/h (638 mph). On 26 October 2010, JR Central announced a new train type, the L0 Series, for commercial operation at 505 km/h (314 mph). [51] It set a world record speed for a manned train of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015. [52]
The linear motor magnetic-levitated train has a top speed of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph), floating 8 millimetres (0.31 in) above the track when in motion, and is intended as an alternative to conventional metro systems, not high-speed operation. The line has nine stations and is 8.9 kilometres (5.5 mi) long, with a minimum operating radius ...
The train speed record of 603 km/h (375 mph) was set by the experimental Japanese L0 Series maglev in 2015. [5] From 2002 until 2021, the record for the highest operational speed of a passenger train of 431 kilometres per hour (268 mph) was held by the Shanghai maglev train , which uses German Transrapid technology.

An L0 Series trainset, holding the non-conventional train world speed record of 603 km/h (375 mph) TGV 4402 (operation V150) reaching 574.8 km/h (357 mph). The world record for a conventional wheeled passenger train is held by a modified French TGV high-speed (with standard equipment) code named V150, set in 2007 when it reached 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) on a 140 km (87 mi) section of track.

Stations are similarly long to accommodate these trains. Some of Japan's high-speed maglev trains are considered Shinkansen, [46] while other slower maglev trains (such as Linimo, serving local communities in and nearby Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture) are intended as alternatives to conventional urban rapid transit systems.

High Speed Surface Transport (HSST) is a Japanese maglev train system which uses electromagnetic levitation technology. [1] The Linimo line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan uses a descendant of HSST technology.
