Reuters, Beijing, July 20-Xinhua News Agency reported on Tuesday that the world‘s first 600km/h high-speed maglev transportation system developed by CRRC rolled off the assembly line in Qingdao; it is also a 1,500km journey based on actual door-to-door travel time. The fastest mode of transportation in the area.
The report pointed out that the system adopts a “car-holding rail” operating structure, with high safety level, spacious space and comfortable ride. A single section can carry more than one hundred passengers, and can be flexibly grouped in the range of 2-10 vehicles to meet the needs of different passenger capacities. No contact with the track during driving, no wheel or rail wear, less maintenance, long overhaul period, and good economy throughout the life cycle.
According to Ding Sansan, chief technical engineer of the high-speed maglev project and deputy chief engineer of CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd., the system uses mature and reliable normal conduction technology. “It has technical advantages such as high efficiency, fast, safe and reliable, strong transportation capacity, flexible marshalling, comfortable on time, convenient maintenance, and green environmental protection.”
The project was launched in October 2016, a test prototype was developed in 2019, and it was successfully tested on the test line of Tongji University in Shanghai in June 2020. After system optimization, the final technical plan was determined and a complete set was developed in January 2021. The system has started a six-month joint debugging and joint test. At present, the integration and system joint debugging have been completed, and the entire train of five marshalling trains has achieved stable suspension and dynamic operation on the in-plant commissioning line.
