CASIC developed a hybrid suspension system to address violent vibrations at high speeds. It combines traditional passive air springs with advanced electromagnetic actuators. These actuators don’t work alone—they’re controlled by artificial intelligence.
China’s pursuit of hyperloop technology carries significant strategic implications beyond just faster travel times. By developing infrastructure capable of connecting major economic centers at unprecedented speeds, China positions itself to further consolidate its economic zones into highly integrated mega-regions.
China conquered the technical pitfalls that doomed Elon Musk’s Hyperloop, slashing build costs by 60%.
An ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev vehicle has completed a 2km demonstration test run in Yanggao county, Shanxi province, northern China. The speed achieved has not been revealed, but the vehicle is designed to operate at up to 1000km/h.
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) completed the main structure of a 2-km full-scale test pipeline in North China’s Shanxi province, the longest of its kind globally.
China's independently developed high temperature superconducting electric maglev transportation system has completed its first suspension run, according to its developer CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd. in northeast China's Jilin Province.
Pod travels at 50km/h (31mph) through vacuum tube at Chinese facility to check critical components and prepare for future experiments. The project aims to develop superconducting maglev trains that can carry passengers at speeds of 1,000km/h or more.
An ultrahigh-speed test device for electromagnetic propulsion – the "electromagnetic sled" – recently set a world record in Jinan, Shandong province. The device can propel an object weighing one metric ton or above at a speed of 1,030 kilometers per hour.
Chinese researchers have successfully carried out a systematic test on a cutting-edge transportation system involving a high-speed maglev train running in a low vacuum pipeline in North China.
Construction will start on the test line for a low-vacuum maglev high-speed train with a speed of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour in Datong, North China's Shanxi Province, as preparation work is done, the local government said.
