This achievement further consolidates and expands Beijing's leading position in high-speed rail technology globally.

This high-speed train model will significantly improve China's railway scientific and technological innovation level and scientific and technological autonomy, marking a major breakthrough in the "CR450 Scientific and Technological Innovation Project".

The CR450 train has a test speed of up to 450 km/h, can reach a speed of 400 km/h in actual operation and becomes the fastest passenger high-speed train in the world.

With its intelligent and advanced design, the CR450 train is not only faster but also safer, more energy-efficient, bringing a pleasant experience to passengers. According to the leader of China National Railway Corporation, the CR450 is superior to current high-speed trains in the world in terms of key indicators such as operating speed, energy consumption, internal noise, etc.

In the future, China National Railway Corporation will conduct a series of tests and evaluations on the CR450, with the goal of putting this train into commercial operation as soon as possible to serve the travel needs of the people.
