Beijing, 21 September (BelTA - People's Daily) - Fuxing, China's newest high-speed bullet trains will be officially launched between Beijing and Shanghai on Thursday, at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
The Fuxing bullet trains were unveiled on June 25 and are capable of a top speed of 400 km/h. The Fuxing has a monitoring system that slows the train in case of emergency or abnormal conditions. Telemetry allows a control center to monitor the train in real time.
The Fuxing, which means "rejuvenation," is a substantial upgrade on the Hexie, which means "harmony." The Fuxing is more spacious and energy-efficient, with a longer life expectancy and better reliability.
