Speed and performance of the high-speed train

The CR450 is designed to operate at an impressive 248 mph, surpassing its predecessor, the CR400, which operates at 217 mph. This significant increase in speed is accompanied by a remarkable reduction in operational resistance by 22% and a weight decrease of 10%, thanks to the use of advanced materials, such as carbon fiber composites and magnesium alloys.

Safety features of the CR450

Safety remains a top priority with the CR450. It features a braking response time of approximately 1.7 seconds, allowing it to come to a complete stop from its operational speed within 21,325 feet, the same distance required by the CR400. Furthermore, an over-the-horizon system enhances emergency situation recognition capabilities.

Future prospects

The China State Railway Group has announced plans for extensive line testing of the CR450 prototypes to refine technical specifications before entering commercial service. The goal is to integrate this advanced technology into China’s already extensive high-speed rail network, which spans over 24,855 miles.
