Eco Factor: High-speed electric train.
The world’s fastest high-speed train has been launched in China that averages at over 217mph. The new train is faster than all other trains in the world and will link Wuhan in central China to Guangzhou in the south, covering a total distance of 663 miles. The service will reduce the travel time from over 6 hours to just 2 hours and 45 minutes.
The train has been developed by Siemens, Bombardier and Alstom. The train topped out at 245mph during trail runs, but the average speed will be about 217mph. The country is also planning to expand the high-speed rail service to 42 more high-speed lines by 2012.
