The fastest trains in the World


As a mode of transportation these superfast trains have many advantages. Transport means greater power and most importantly with the same comfort, the resulting pollution could be one tenth smaller than an airplane. This trains them are still using conventional wheels but with sophisticated machines and the latest use of technology superconducting magnetic levitation (maglev train) which floated on the tracks.

Fast trains Japan l

Tokaido Shinkansen - Japan

Japan surprised the world by launching a fast train Shinkansen (bullet train) in 1964 to serve the route Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka-Kyoto, and the speed is "only" around 201 km / h (in the year's most kenceng already).


Experimental WIN 350 train:


JR E3


JR E4


Each track has its own name (Tokaido, Tohoku, etc.), and each type of train is identified by a nickname (Nozomi, Hikari, etc.).
Nearly 40 years since its first appearance, Shinkansen was 6 billion passengers carried with no means an accident. Shinkansen route also has a very high frequency, such as routes Tokyo and Shin-Osaka passable-six trains per hour (not per day!).

JR 300


"Hikari" means "light", is the first service on the route Shinkansen Tokaido / Sanyo.
Since the advent of Nozomi trains, currently provides mid-level service with a few extra stops, but remained at high speed. Hikari trains linking Tokyo and Osaka in approximately 3 hours. Its appearance is more nuanced than the supersonic jet trains, with a futuristic design and exceptional comfort.



Variations JR 500


Means "hope", Nozomi trains only takes 2.5 hours to travel from Tokyo, Osaka, and 5 hours up to all destinations in the southernmost tip of the island in Hakata (Fukuoka).
Railways in Japan is supporting the commercial mobilization of the dense population in these areas, though to run it every train would cost up to $ 40 million.



800 JR New Series



Special "Storm Troopers":



JR-Maglev MLX01


These trains include the type of superconducting magnetic levitation train - Maglev (floating above a magnetic rail) and the trials could reach 581 km / h and has so far not been used commercially.
China took a step forward with lebh first operating maglev train this type in 2004.

French Fast Train

Train a Grande Vitesse (TGV) - France

Inaugurated in the early 80's, the TGV routes Lyon and Paris, after the success of the route is then added to other cities in France and even to other countries.
This train was built by Alstrom SA - the company's second-largest train maker in the world. TGV trains new generation of V-150 record-breaking speed for conventional wheeled trains at a speed of 515 km / h. This train uses a supercharged engine, and has particularly large wheels. Currently reaches new record 574.8 km / h (see here).



Fast trains German

InterCity Express (ICE)


In the early 90's Germany inaugurated fast train to serve the route Hannover, Wurzburg, Mannheim, and Stuttgart.
This train was built by Siemens and reach speeds of 280 km / h.

Transrapid


Germany also build its own Transrapid maglev train capable of reaching speeds of 550 km / h but unfortunately never had an accident in September 2006 near the town of Lathen, killing 23 passengers.


Maglev Train Shanghai - China


Built with German technology, the train can reach speeds of up to 430 km / h and capable of carrying passengers from Pudong International Airport to Longyang Road Station in the city center in just 8 minutes.


Korean Train Express (KTX) - South Korea


In 2004 South Korea became the second country in Asia besides Japan is building a fast train line that connects several major cities.
KTX Technology adopts TGV (French fast train).

Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail - Taiwan


After several years of delays, finally Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail opened in on January 5, 2008.
Fast train was built by Japan's Shinkansen technology base and shorten travel time from Taipei to Kaohsiung to 90 minutes of the previous 4 hours.

Italian Fast Train

Direttissima


Italy, officially launched the fast train to Rome and Florence route with a speed of 254 km / h.


Eurostar - United Kingdom


This fast train dioprasikan 1994 and serving the route from London to France and Belgium (through the tunnel under the sea).
From London to Paris by train takes 2 hours 35 minutes. Current speed reaches 300 km / h.
