China's First Vacuum Tube High-Speed Railway Test Line Completed: 1,000km/h Design Speed, Beijing-Shanghai in 1 Hour

CRRC announces first vacuum tube high-speed railway test line fully completed. 1,000km/h design speed, Beijing-Shanghai in just 1 hour. Expected to enter commercial testing in 2028.

CRRC today announced a major breakthrough. The vacuum tube high-speed railway test line is fully completed.

Project Overview

Test line length: 150km
Design speed: 1,000km/h
Beijing-Shanghai time: 1 hour (currently 4.5 hours by high-speed rail)

Technical Solution

Using "high-temperature superconductor + maglev" technology:

Tube vacuum degree: One-thousandth of sea level atmospheric pressure
Vehicle: High-temperature superconductor maglev
Energy consumption: 1/10 of aircraft

Timeline

End of 2027: Test line debugging
2028: Commercial testing
2030: First operational line

Global Competition

China joins the US (Hyperloop One) and UAE in vacuum tube high-speed railway competition, becoming the third country to successfully test.
