Maglev: Yamanashi Maglev Test Line, Japan: 12 December 1997: Three-car train set. Former world speed record for maglev trains. 552 (343) MLX01: Maglev: Yamanashi Maglev Test Line: 14 April 1999: Five-car train set. Former world speed record for maglev trains. 581 (361) MLX01: Maglev: Yamanashi Maglev Test Line: 2 December 2003: Three-car train set.
It set a world record speed for a manned train of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015. [52] On 26 March 2020, the Improved L0 Series started operations on the test track. It represents the completion of 80–90% of the design goals for the final train, and is the first to draw power from the track. Previous models used on-board gas generators.
A seven-car train set a land speed record for rail vehicles of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015. [5] The trains run at a maximum speed of 500 km/h (311 mph), [ 6 ] offering journey times of 40 minutes between Tokyo ( Shinagawa Station ) and Nagoya , and 1 hour 7 minutes between Tokyo and Osaka .
The highest-recorded maglev speed is 603 kilometres per hour (375 mph), achieved in Japan by JR Central's L0 superconducting maglev on 21 April 2015, [108] 28 kilometres per hour (17 mph) faster than the conventional TGV wheel-rail speed record. However, the operational and performance differences between these two very different technologies ...
Old Dominion University maglev: In 1999, Old Dominion University agreed to work with American Maglev of Atlanta to construct an on-campus student transportation link of less than 1-mile (1.6 km) — using a smart train / dumb track design in which most sensors, magnets, and computation were located on the train rather than the track.

An HSST train at the Expo '85 Exhibition, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 1985 An HSST train at the YES'89 Exhibition, Yokohama, 1989 A Linimo HSST-100L train. 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.
Linimo is owned and operated by the Aichi Rapid Transit Company, Ltd. (愛知高速交通株式会社, Aichi Kōsoku Kōtsū kabushiki-gaisha) and is the first commercial maglev in Japan to use the High Speed Surface Transport (HSST) type technology. [1] It is also the world's first uncrewed commercial urban maglev. [2]
Notable projects in Asia include Central Japan Railway Company's superconducting maglev train and Shanghai's maglev train, the oldest commercial maglev still in operation. Elsewhere, various projects have been considered across Europe and Northeast Maglev aims to overhaul North America's Northeast Corridor with JR Central's SCMaglev technology.
