A high-speed maglev train that can reach a maximum speed of 600 kilometers per hour was premiered in Qingdao, China.
The state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation developed the train, which is considered the fastest train in the world.
The train slips on the tracks due to electromagnetic force as it uses magnetic levitation technology.
Liang Jianying, deputy general manager and chief engineer of CRRC Sifang, told Chinese state media that the train is quieter and requires less maintenance than other high-speed trains.
The train will be in service in five to ten years, Jinaying said in January this year. There is currently only one commercial-use maglev train in China, connecting Shanghai Pudong Airport to Longyang Road Station in the city.
The train can reach a speed of 430 km / h to cover 30 km in seven and a half minutes.
