India’s flagship semi-high-speed train, Vandebharat, will start running in Kerala today, the headline news today. Officials say that the 586 km distance from Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod will be completed in eight hours and five minutes. In this context, it is interesting to note that the maglev train, which China claims is the fastest in the world, can run at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. A high temperature superconducting electro dynamic suspension (EDS) train can cover this distance in an hour. The first operation of the train was completed on April 2 this year China It has been informed.
Information about this train in October 2022 will be released by Chinese train manufacturer CRRC. was shared. This was announced at the industry trade fair held in Berlin, Germany. The company had also stated that the train, which was built using indigenous technology, had successfully run a trial run. Since the 1980s, China has been using magnetic levitation-maglev technology in commercial trains. This technology enables high-speed train operation using an electric magnetic field. It works without the rail and train body touching each other. Currently, apart from China, this technology is also being used in South Korea and Japan.
In Shanghai, China, a train is running using maglev technology. The service runs between the main city and the airport. In addition to maglev, China also has a 37,900 km high-speed railway system (HSR or bullet train). Their effort is to double this in the next ten years.
There were reports that Chinese researchers are studying to bring maglev technology to cars as well. The news was that researchers at Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, Sichuan Province conducted such an experiment on a car. They conducted road tests using cars modified with a magnetic system 35 mm above the conductor rail. When tested in this manner, the cars were able to reach a speed of 230 km/h.

Vande Bharat train flag off across India is done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Even the opposition is criticizing that this move is aimed at political goals including elections. After sharing the video and photo of the Maglev train, there are posts criticizing the Prime Minister including on Twitter. One noted that the fastest train is in China but the Chinese president did not come for the flag off. One quipped that Prime Minister Modi would inaugurate as the Chinese president has administrative matters to look after.
