China News Service, Beijing, March 24 (Reporter Zhou Yin) The Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China stated at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China on the 24th whether it is possible to travel by high-speed maglev train in 2035 and stated that relevant parties are actively developing research and development. Work, has built a research and development, test, trial production platform, and the test prototype has also been successfully tested.
Wang Yang, Chief Planner and Director of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Ministry of Transport, stated that the "Outline for Building a Powerful Transport Country" clearly stated that it is necessary to rationally arrange the 600 km/h high-speed magnetic levitation system, the 400 km/h high-speed wheel-rail passenger train system, and the low vacuum tube ( Research and development of technical reserves such as high-speed trains of tunnels and highways
He introduced that the high-speed maglev train has the advantages of frictionless, strong climbing ability, energy saving and environmental protection.
In the next stage, high-speed maglev trains also need to strengthen technical research, further improve technological maturity, strengthen economic comparison, operational feasibility analysis, and promote the planning and construction of the project when conditions are met.
Experts believe that the high-speed maglev transportation system with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour can fill the speed gap between high-speed rail and air transportation, and form a more reasonable, efficient, flexible and convenient multi-dimensional transportation structure for aviation, high-speed rail, high-speed maglev and urban traffic speed gradients.
At the press conference, Hong Kong reporters were concerned about whether the maglev train has the opportunity to enter the Hong Kong network?
Wang Zhiqing, deputy minister of the Ministry of Transport, said that he also hopes that the test will be successful and the construction will be promoted, so that the 600-kilometer-level high-speed maglev train can be passed to Hong Kong earlier, so that Hong Kong can catch the express train of mainland development.
