World’s Fastest High-Speed Train Unveiled in China
The CR450 trains reached a maximum speed of 453 km/h during testing and are designed to operate commercially at 400 km/h. This is a notable increase from the CR400 Fuxing high-speed train, which currently operates at a maximum speed of 350 km/h.

The increased speed is achieved through improvements in traction systems, lightweight materials, and optimised aerodynamic structures.
Key technical enhancements include advanced noise reduction technology, enhanced vibration damping systems, and intelligent monitoring systems for real-time operation analysis.
The trains are equipped with next-generation braking systems to ensure safety at higher speeds and energy-efficient propulsion systems to minimise environmental impact.
The CR450 series includes two models with distinct design features. The CR450AF has a streamlined, arrowhead-shaped front optimised for aerodynamic efficiency, reducing wind resistance at high speeds.
The CR450BF features a design inspired by an eagle in flight, with a body characterised by moonlight silver paint and a red stripe running its length for improved visibility and structural aesthetics.
