China has once again stunned the world , this time by unveiling a maglev (magnetic levitation) train that has shattered speed records, reaching an extraordinary 620 kilometres per hour.
The breakthrough test, conducted by researchers in Chengdu, marks a defining moment in the race for next-generation high-speed transport. Travelling faster than a commercial airliner, the new maglev could revolutionise intercity travel — reducing journeys that once took hours to mere minutes.
Unlike traditional trains, maglev technology uses powerful superconducting magnets to lift and propel the carriage above the track, eliminating friction and dramatically increasing speed, safety, and efficiency.
The prototype’s success places China at the forefront of futuristic transport, blending precision engineering with sustainable innovation. Engineers say the train not only promises record-breaking performance but could also reshape global mobility — making ultra-fast, low-emission travel a reality in the coming decade.
As the rest of the world watches in awe, one thing is clear: China’s maglev marvel has turned science fiction into high-speed fact.
