The reporter learned from the 12th World High Speed Railway Conference held from July 8th to 10th that the first domestically developed superconducting electric high-speed maglev train by CRRC Changke Co., Ltd. was officially unveiled. The train adopts high-temperature superconducting technology, which forms a strong magnetic force between the train's built-in superconducting magnet and the track coil. After reaching speed, it can achieve contactless suspension operation, with a maximum operating speed of 600 kilometers per hour. Shao Nan, a senior engineer at CRRC Changke Co., Ltd., introduced that the superconducting electric high-speed maglev achieves contactless operation between the train and the track through the interaction between the onboard superconducting magnet and the coils on the track. When the vehicle is running at low speed, it travels through rubber wheels; After reaching a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, the rubber wheels retract and the vehicle achieves suspended operation, which can be applied to various terrain routes such as the ground and tunnels. The significant feature of the superconducting electric high-speed maglev train with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour is its high speed. ”Shao Nan stated that the superconducting electric maglev suspension guidance has a large gap and wide acceleration space. The train has the advantages of strong climbing ability, small turning radius, and high driving speed, which can effectively fill the speed gap between high-speed rail and aircraft, improve travel efficiency, and enhance travel experience. The superconducting electric high-speed maglev train project with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour is currently progressing smoothly, and the first phase of the engineering prototype has been successfully developed in July 2024. ”Shao Nan stated that it is expected that the 300 meter full-scale test line will be completed and put into use soon, and the superconducting electric high-speed maglev train will be able to conduct ground speed operation tests at that time.
