(250225) -- BEIJING, Feb. 25, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This photo shows a prototype of CR450 bullet train undergoing tests in Beijing, capital of China, Feb. 25, 2025. Prototypes of the CR450 bullet train, with a test speed of up to 450 kilometers per hour and an operational speed of 400 kilometers per hour, were debuted in Beijing recently, highlighting China's cutting-edge advancements in rail technology and contributions to the global rail industry. The CR450 is significantly faster than the CR400 Fuxing high-speed trains currently in service, which operate at speeds of 350 kilometers per hour. The China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (China Railway) currently is arranging a series of line tests for the prototypes and optimize technical indicators to ensure the CR450 enters commercial service as soon as possible.

Beijing – O trem-bala mais rápido do mundo, o CR450, iniciou uma bateria de testes pré-serviço em uma linha de alta velocidade na China, registrando uma velocidade de 453 quilômetros por hora em um único trem.
A série CR450, projetada para uma velocidade máxima de teste de 450 km/h e uma velocidade de serviço comercial de 400 km/h, está agora passando por testes de qualificação na ferrovia de alta velocidade que liga a cidade oriental de Shanghai e a cidade do Oeste interior de Chengdu, informou o Science and Technology Daily na segunda-feira.
O trem de alta velocidade pode acelerar de 0 a 350 km/h em apenas 4 minutos e 40 segundos, e dois trens estabeleceram um recorde ao passar um pelo outro a uma velocidade combinada de 896 km/h.
Comparado ao seu antecessor CR400, o CR450 apresenta um nariz mais longo e elegante, uma linha de teto 20 centímetros mais baixa e uma redução de peso de 50 toneladas, reduzindo assim o arrasto aerodinâmico em 22%.
Os trens de alta velocidade Fuxing CR400 atualmente em serviço operam a uma velocidade de 350 km/h.
O CR450 deve registrar 600.000 quilômetros sem a ocorrência de problemas antes de ser liberado para o transporte de passageiros.
