Live: China's first maglev suspension railway undergoes test run

The Xingguo maglev suspension railway, developed by the Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and China Railway Science & Industry Group Co., is the first in China that utilizes permanent maglev technology in a suspension railway. The new technology can achieve elevation status without being powered. Follow CGTN to experience the test run. #OnSite

China's technology infrastructure connectivity is amazing and will benefit its people for progress ease of travel. Well done to the construction team. Well done China

[vincentgrego]

great innovation! it has the potential of providing millions of people comfortable transportation that is also environment friendly. Hats off to all the researchers!

[joshkhor]

Fantastic technology making it convenient for travellers and users.

Great CHINAs technology & know how is excellent, on top of the World ❤️🇨🇳🙏

China spend money mostly for growing technology, , US spend money mostly for military, , , what does mean, , ,

I'm proud of being a Chinese guy. Welcome to China !

This Meglev train has tremendous market potential worldwide especially in the congested cities.
This is a significant milestone achieved by China and such presentation would achieve a greater mileage among viewers if CGTN can arrange a more proficient English speaking interviewer and edit the video in a seamless manner.

Hopefully the new maglev system will perform as expected and will be approved after its test run. The maglev technology is even more environment friendly than the standard trains and it's also more cost-efficient in the long run.

I love china and his people...May God continue to bless them...

What I really like about monorail in the sky is that the ground is least disturbed and the railway does not divide the land.

[SERGY]

This is what we need in Belgium 🇧🇪 !!!😊

Wonderful design... China technology development has amazed the world.

[feizai]

Brilliant innovation. The conventional Bi-rail maglev converted into monorail by simply moving the rail from below to above and let the gravity balance it out. And that decreases the construction and operational cost significantly.

I hope to live to see the day when China and America can be best of buddies. Much more to benefit from than not to be.

I am Malaysia Chinese and I am proud to be Chinese :) China is Awesome!

[Anupam]

Awesome. Good luck all the hard working team members. 👍

I rode in china's first maglev train in Shanghai 20 years ago. 580 kilometers an hour

The difference between the permanent magnet rail train and the traditional rail train is mainly in the difference of the motor. Compared with the excitation motor (traditional motor currently used), the permanent magnet motor has high energy density, and has obvious advantages in weight, volume and energy consumption, that is, it is more energy-saving, which represents the new development of train traction technology. If used on high-speed rail, it will be more energy efficient. However, the permanent magnet synchronous motor has a low temperature resistance limit, is difficult to manufacture, has a high cost, and requires a large amount of rare earth elements. China has quite mature experience in using permanent magnet synchronous motors, and almost all electric vehicles in China use permanent magnet synchronous motors.

China builds everyday to improve lives ❤

Chinese people are so lucky to have been travelling so fast.
is this model faster than the one in Shanghai?
