According to China’s Ministry of Transport , the train was rolled out on December 29 in Beijing, with testing speed of 450 kilometers per hour.

It is reported that the CR450 will surpass the current CR400 model, which was introduced in 2017 and starts operation at a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The new train is being hailed as a groundbreaking development in high-speed rail technology.

The train was developed by the collaboration of two manufacturers, CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles and CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd. The CR450 is highly acknowledged in rail technology circles due to its advanced features, including energy efficiency, reduced noise levels, superior speed, and improved braking performance.

The train has undergone over 3,000 simulations and more than 2,000 platform tests to ensure its performance and standard safety for commercial use.

It is reported that despite these tests, more trials and adjustments are required to operate it in its full-scale operations. The additional line tests and refinements will be conducted to meet all commercial requirements, the China State Railway Group confirmed.

China has maintained itself as a global leader in railway development over the past decade. Its rail network spans more than 160,000 kilometers, with over 46,000 kilometers dedicated to high-speed lines. This extensive network has transformed transportation in the country, providing a fast, reliable alternative to air travel for journeys up to 700 miles.

The high-speed Chinese rail system connects major cities and rural areas to make travel more accessible for public.
