China is one step closer to a cutting-edge transportation system involving a 1,000 km/h high-speed running in a low vacuum pipeline after newly completing the main structure of a 2-km full-scale test pipeline in N China's Shanxi, the longest of its kind globally..
According to reports, the high-speed speeding car Datong (Yanggao) test line project is China's first full-scale test line for ultra-high-speed low-vacuum pipeline maglev transportation system.
On May 24, 2021, the Shanxi Provincial Laboratory of High-speed Speeding Vehicles was unveiled. The project was approved in September, and construction officially started in April 2022. The project is located in Yanggao County, Datong City. The line is 2 kilometers long and the starting point is 500 meters west of Yanggao South Station .
According to CCTV news, China's first full-scale supernavigation test successfully verified highly dynamic superconducting magnets, high-power multiple inverters, high-voltage integrated modules, high-excitation suspension structures, high-precision positioning speed measurement, and airtight Key technologies such as space pipeline wireless communication, full-process safety control, and high-precision intelligent track inspection have preliminarily verified the correctness of the overall plan of the high-speed flying car system and the coordination and matching of the work.
I think someone finally decided the full green trains were too ugly. This new paint scheme looks way betterSome more photos.
