The high-speed train called Fuxing has been throttled for six years. Now he is to be able to leave his full speed again.
The Fuxing trains, with a top speed of 350 km / h and an average speed of 317 km / h the fastest in the world, are to be allowed to drive again at full speed from 21 September. They have completed some tests in June and July, according to operator China Railway. In the near future, they are to travel again between Beijing and Shanghai.
Fuxing then completed the 1318-kilometer course in four and a half hours.
After a collision of two Fuxing trains in July 2011, in which 40 people died, the express train could only drive with a maximum of 300 km / h. For comparison: the German ICE reaches a top speed of 320 km / h. The new train is not only faster but also better equipped, says the operator: with more arm and leg freedom, free WLAN and sockets for smartphones and notebooks, which are not under the armrest, but under the seat.
