US EditionChina's Maglev Prototype Reaches 650 km/h as Dedicated Network Construction Underway
CHINA, JUL 12 – China's Maglev train technology reached speeds over 600 mph in tests and aims to cut travel between major cities to 90 minutes or less by 2025, officials said.
- In June 2025, China showcased a magnetic levitation train at Donghu Laboratory that reached a top speed of 404 miles per hour in less than seven seconds while covering a distance of approximately 1,970 feet.
- This test follows a 2023 trial that reached speeds above 620 mph inside a vacuum tube simulating near-zero air resistance.
- CRRC is responsible for developing the train, while the team at Donghu Laboratory aims to finish the entire high-speed track construction by the close of 2025.
- Li Weichao, director at Donghu Laboratory, stated that the train commonly runs at speeds around 800 kilometers per hour, with positioning accuracy achieving a precision of 4 millimeters.
- China aims to establish a state-of-the-art maglev system linking key cities like Beijing and Shanghai, which could cut travel durations to an hour and a half or less.

China’s Astonishing Maglev Train Is Faster Than Most Planes
China has successfully tested a magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology which could see trains travel faster than most planes. The most recent test, demonstrated at Donghu Laboratory in Hubei Province, saw a 1.1-ton Maglev train accelerating to 404 mph in just under 7 seconds over 1,968 feet. The test follows a trial of the same technology last year, which achieved speeds of over 620 mph—faster than the flight of many commercial planes. Newsweek…
