As part of an infrastructure upgrade, China opened its first high-speed rail lines in 2007, utilizing trains sourced from Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. As of 2021, China possesses the world's largest high-speed rail network, with a total operating length of 40,000 kilometers.
China begun its high-speed rail construction in early 21st century, 20-30 years later than part of the developed countries in the world, but by virtue of the innovation with Chinese characteristics, China high-speed rail has achieved rapid and great development in a relatively short period of time.
Brief History of High Speed Rail In China. The history of high-speed trains in China is a story of rapid development and innovation over the past few decades. Here is a chronological overview of key milestones: Early Concepts and Planning. 1990s: Initial research and planning for high-speed rail (HSR) in China began. The idea was to modernize ...
With over 3,200km of high speed rail construction planned, the network will soon reach a total length beyond 30,000km. Here is a look at how it all started and the most significant milestones the network has reached over the past 20 years.
China initially relied on high-speed technology imported from Europe and Japan to establish its network. Global rail engineering giants such as Bombardier, Alstom and Mitsubishi were...
The China train speed record is currently 486.1 km/h (302 mph) on existing track, 420 km/h (260 mph) on existing rail track for two pas trains and 605 km/h (375 mph) on test tracks, surpassing many countries in the world.
With maximum speeds of 350 kph (217 mph) on many lines, intercity travel has been transformed and the dominance of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes.By 2020, 75% of Chinese cities with a population of 500,000 or more had a high-speed rail ink.Spain, which has Europe’s most extensive high-speed network and occupies second place in ...
China, which had no high-speed rail at the start of the 21st century, aggressively built up these railways and now leads the world in this mode of transportation. With a network of lines covering roughly 38,000 km (24,000 miles), high-speed rail connects all of the country’s major megacity clusters.
China Railway High-speed (CRH) is a high-speed rail service operated by China Railway. The introduction of CRH series was a major part of the sixth national railway speedup, implemented on April 18, 2007. [1]
